I realized today that I'm not as good as I should be.
I'm totally ashamed of myself for blowing off the last four years by not being serious, but now I've decided to buckle down and actually practice a little.
No-a lot.
So, I have about $130 to spend on drum stuff.
Books, DVDs, stuff like that.
I've already got strick control.
I've ordered New Breed and Rythm and Meter Patterns.
Is there anything else I should check into getting?
My foot technique is probably the worst part about my playing...

Realisticly stick control is all you need, get the click out and practice an hour a day at least. If your feet are your weakest point drill those the most.

Play slow since control is the name of the game.

Get a concert DVD of a band that inspires you to drum. I find I do a lot better if I watch Moby Dick or some Moon before I practice.

if you don't already have a couple people to jam with, I'd totally recommend finding them! it's only been about a year for my since I started, but I've started jamming with my friend, his father, and a bassist with more frequency lately and I really can't believe how much I'm progressing with each session. of course, I'm practicing a bunch when not jamming (rudiments to click single & double time, some songs, etc)...but playing with others has opened me up BIG TIME.. feel much looser, find myself naturally doing patterns between my hands/feet that I can hardly dream about under "normal" playing, etc etc..

I don't really have much advice after that.. I just do lots of rudiments like 4 measures of 8th stroke doubles at 80bpm, then changing gears to 16th stroke doubles at the same bpm...mix 2 measures of doubles, 1 measure of paradiddles, 1 measure of singles, etc etc.. just mix it up a lot and do the doubletime thing. it's what I've been focusing on the most (as well as dynamics), and it's just worked so well.

I'm totally rambling.

Tru dat.


Pespi just keep at it, work with stick control for an hour like jim said. I've been doing it at 50 bpm and it has built up my left hand a lot. I am the same way as you, I didn't practice for the first couple years and am no where near I should be, but i've started taking it seriously now and am starting to see slight improvements.

after New Breed I'd suggest you look into Minnemann's "Extreme Interdependence" (although only if you don't despise Minnemann's, Donati's, Mangini's playing to the bones). it's the most interesting book (beside Harrison's "Rhythmic Illusions") I know of. El Negro's "Conversations in Clave" has some nice points about how to understand the clave, but it doesn't vary much from Chester's or Minnemann's book in terms of innovation, as it 'only' gives you some clave patterns and suggestions of how to practice them.
I'm sure Latham's book is also a necessity, I just unfortunately haven't gotten around to a copy, since my local amazon and drum shop don't store it.
Steve Smith's dvd covers much of the most popular hand and feet techniques out there. I'd also recommend his dvd, because the History of the US drum beat, provides many great ideas for various grooves. the only downside might be that it doesn't have as many exercises and licks as I expected.
if you haven't yet, you also should print out DeLucia's "Rhythmic Learning Sequence" http://www.vicfirth.com/education/rudiments.html , BB will agree on that. http://gospelchops.com/index-2.html is a nice inspirational video source, the sizes are intense, though.

and most important: never forget that we will always love you

/I had to write everything twice, because Opera crashed when I tried to hit up gospelchops.com, I hope this serves to stress my last sentence

Pepsi- Don't overload. are you talking about technique or something? or are you talking about skills with new beats? or all around? well just find someting thats fun and enjoyable. and practice....alot! I've only been drumming for like 4 years but before like a year ago i would play 15 min tops....aday! it was mostley cause the stuff my teacher was having me do woudlnt' light my fire (in a drumming sense). Then i started playing along with Music and different styles and i've gotten faster, more dyverse (sp?), and learnt different and interesting beats....i've also been practiceing for like 1 1/2 hrs. to 2 hrs.

But if you wan't a basic / slightly advanced book then buy Real Time Drums 2
( not the song book the lessons Real time drums 2 :thumb: )

It has ; Jazz , Funk , Rock , Explantion on Fills , paradiddles , and all the stuff you need to have a good foundating , this would really be a good buy if you don't have a lot of money

Look at you with those amazing 31 posts.
Wow. I feel so ashamed of 3,439 posts and 4 stars. Geez.
Way to teach me a lesson.

And it wasn't totally the only reason I made the post. I was considering it before, but the chance to use that line was the deciding factor.

I practiced a lot yesterday, and I realized that most of my problems lie in my feet, not so much my hands. I think part of it has to be the shoddy recording, but it seems like my right foot is always a split second behind the beat or something.
I don't seem to break out of 4/4 all that much, either.

milkmit
12-29-2005, 12:17 PM
then I'd just recommend the obvious....do LOTS of foot exercises. same as I was saying earlier, with mixed rudiments across both sets of limbs, with varying time (8th singles with feet & 16th doubles with hands at same time, etc etc).

also, dunno how much experience you have outside of 4/4....but one of the first beats I learned early on happened to be a 6/8 (uhhh I think), and it's FUN to play and helped me get used to the different timing....though I'm still having trouble improvising with it as easily as I can with 4/4.

During a lesson with Colin Woolway of Rhythm Magazine, he told me that it is actually very difficult to play all your limbs in unison.

Play some 4/4 grooves with a strong bass drum downbeat to a click. Start the click fast, and then gradually bring the tempo down by 10 bpm or whatever.

6/4 is very fun because it's so bouncy. Here's a piece of music I uploaded for Porkupine a while ago:

cool! saved! :) I'm gonna give it a shot when I'm next behind the kit!
as for the thing I tabbed....my first thinking was that it's 6/4 and not 6/8...but to be honest, I've not clue. for all I know, it could even be 6/2 based on the lack of noteage between the beats...but meh....

like I said, I don't think I did the beat justice with the tab. it's nothing fancy, but I think it flows rather well for what it is. without all the subtle dynamics (which you can't really get with the tab), it probably would sound like crap though.

there goes me not knowing my timing correctly again... :)
but yeah, that's even cooler.. again, it's the same exact thing, only the hats seem to be shifting, which is normally hard for me to count/play. I'm going to have to start practicing this little beat again to practice counting differently.

Loser
12-30-2005, 11:32 AM
The one you wrote and the one I wrote would indeed sound the same, except for one would be twice as fast at the same tempo, so really neither is right or wrong, just different.

I was talking about what Milkmit figured out in his post. it's the way I see 12/8 based Swing pulses for instance. the way Loser pointed it out it's rather a sextuplet thing, like he already stated as well. however, I think it's easier to see it as triplets, not sextuplets.

:thumb:

keep it up man! I've been neglecting my toms in favor of my snare and rudimental/dynamic exercises pretty much since I began about a year ago, which means I don't have all sorts of crazy tom fill patterns down comfortably....but really, I don't regret it at all (I never liked seemingly-random fills anyway). I've only recently started listening to Galactic, and hearing stanton moore's drumming is total inspiration to me. it seems to be almost ALL snare/bass/hats work, which is what I've been practicing and LOVING. my friends father, who I last jammed with on christmas day, was amazed at how much I seem to have progressed in so little time.. what he probably didn't realize is that I was playing almost nothing other than snare/bass/hats/1 crash. :)

so yeah...just giving you props for focusing on snare rudiments.. amazing how much style can be played with so few drums! LOVE it!

im just saying save for something good, unlike a book, which isnt gonna make u good just by reading

True, owning a book will not make you a better drummer.

Reading it or working out of it might inspire you to practice and become a better drummer.
I see your point. It's a shame you can't articulate it.

im all for seeing some skill, but people making blind comments without having posted audio or vids for anyone to show what they know shouldnt be posting comments like 'omg im so better than u and i pwn mwahaha lawlz"

omg its so funny how u compare skill to gear and number of posts. okay so he loves the drums and knows alot about stuff in the gear section, good news buddy i dont give a sh it about how many posts he has. if he had a thousand it doesnt mean he can groove make up anything, or do anything good.

excuses, excuses:rolleyes:

I have to say that in a lot of cases post count is just simply irrelevant. It just means that a person spends a lot of time on the internet. There are lots of people on forums with thousands of posts, but most of their posts consist of about 3 or 4 keystrokes and they don't contribute anything it all.
For example:

"OMG"
"lmfao"
or just "...." (what's that about?)

They should make a contribution factor rating on this forum.

First one is a bit of a humorous thing but still shows some skill...and i can guarantee that you couldnt possibly TOUCH any of his playing...so either shut your mouth, or back yourself up with some concrete evidence.

I think Gadd was into cocaine or sth. I think you can recognize that in those old videos on drummerworld, where he still has some color in his hair.

ha, I'm sorry, I was kidding of course.

I have absolutely no ****ing clue who that girl is. somone posted that picture at http://giga.de in a 'fameless beauties' thread and claimed to find it through google. if you type in "ana girl 02.jpg" you might find some results. there's only one on the image search, but a couple of websites, and one has the whole image (300*400).
I reckon she's some kind of model (she looks goddamn skinny, but she's got a pretty face at least), or maybe she's a student of that site you can find through the image search. but I kind of doubt it.

Does anyone elses drum teacher ask them to play with a 16th note click on the metronome? He said it helps a lot more with timeing even if you're playing 8ths or quarters.
