I Can Play Drums!

[A_Guy]

You know what I learned today? According to the page adverised on my gmail account, drum lessons are a waste of time! I could've saved money and time with 80 free lessons from icanplaydrums.com (http://www.icanplaydrums.com)! I expect to become pro within the week!

Hah.

That's hilarious.

[FockerTheLopper]

Sign me up! I always knew that the drum instuctor correcting me was a complete moron.

[steeldrummer11]

Is the TS joking?

[Josiah]

I'm pretty sure it's that mattsmith kid who runs that site too.

[Seafroggys]

Is the TS joking?

no, he's being quite serious. :rolleyes:

[pitchfork]

That made my day :lol:

[Zildjian]

Im signing up now!

[LostRythym]

Woah! In a week I'll be sharing the stage with Chad Smith and Portnoy!

members area password: drums

[moogoogaipan]

haha... someone's buying his bull**** cause that website has been up for a little more than 2 years.

[Peg Dizzler]

Haha, the password is actually drums... lmfao. How originaaal!

[White]

I feel bad for the guy who makes the videos haha. What a retard

[Ming-a-Ling]

haha, I can't believe the password is drums...

[Jezen]

I have been getting those Big Drum newsletters for ages now. They are rather crap.

[Josiah]

Haha that's pretty funny.

Though there is a TON of good stuff in those free 'lessons'.

[Sharkey Boy]

Lol I get the big drum newsletters too

Some of them have been quite intresting and helpful. Although it just kinda feels like the guy who is writing it got lazy as it went on and they have got as British Boy said rather 'crap'.

To sign in on the site, the password/user name is 'drums' , log into it and see what you guys think heh, I don't know how many of the links in there still work anymore but have a look.

For those who are just beginning, and like trying to self learn it is a reasonably ok site, and I suppose the product isnt too bad an idea. The free lessons bit is like useful for those kind of people.

A few of the vids have been quality learned some cool lil grooves and fills from here.


But meh thats just me.

EDIT: made the mistake of not reading the whole thread and seeing that the username and pretty much that paragprah had been said lol

[Josiah]

All the links in that section I have tried work. There's a lot of stuff written out, I can't comment on his commentary, wich may or may not be good. But as far as just written out grooves from a wide variety of things.. there's a ton of stuff in their.

Far more grooves and fills written out then the Tommy Igoe section on VicFirth.

I really like how he broke down fool in the rain.

[AmodestBeginning]

ive been a member for like 2months now on that..crappy part is that hes sent me over 50 emails trying to persuade me to buy the full edition..

[Sharkey Boy]

I really like how he broke down fool in the rain.

Yeah that was really awesome

I really should of looked at learning that when that issue was around. (if anyone could point me in the way of that It would be greatly appreciated)


I suck at the concept of a half time shuffle

He's good. Very smooth, nice good feel. He definitely knows what he's doing.

[Mpm3001]

Gosh guys.. quit bashing my favorite site.. that was my inspiration.. it taught me everything i know.. lol

[ToneDef™]

That's a damn good site. Very informative.

[A_Guy]

That's a damn good site. Very informative.
Funny, I made the thread, but when I got the password, I actually found some cool stuff. Unfortunayely, it's a horrible site layout, way to much text, and their marketing strategy sucks.

[milkmit]

yeah, his little video introduction convincing the user to sign up made him seem like a bit of a tool....but after checking some of the stuff out with the password, it doesn't seem all that bad at all..

[NewMetman]

Know what made me laugh?

"As I've taught over the years I've realized that unfortunately, in many situations, 1 on 1 teaching, books and videos can be flawed - here's what I've found..

1 - If a student cant read music or fails to absorb fresh information quickly, I have to try and play AND point to the music at the same time.. try doing that with a 4 limb exercise!"

Now heres what it should say

"1 - If a student cant read music or fails to absorb fresh information quickly, I should probably be trying to teach the kid how to read music!.. Try doing that with a 4 limb exercise"

[Killjoy]

It's a front

[LostRythym]

The guy seems good.

[Dextrous]

Thats a good resource and i'm actually using the latin part right now.
