Drums?

[Crimson]

Hey anyone on here play drums? I got a set (Basic set) from my uncle. Its nothing like really good but it works for practice. Well my question is how did you learn to play. I can play basics but i want to actually do GOOD! Also what songs are best to start with? I can play "Eye of the Tiger" "Another one bites the dust" and Relient K's "Pirates Who Don't do Anything". What i want to play is Fly-We as Human.

\m/ rock on

I play! I have a 1970s vintage red vista-lite set of my dads with 1970s era Zildjian cymbols that are my dad's he's had em since they were new. Ive only been playing for a few months (Ive always been around music and had a small set when I was really small but I never really did anything but bang on em xD) On drums its not really about which songs you can play but what rhythm patterns you can play I can play every (basic) rhythm pattern but I've just started fancying it up a bit...Pretty soon my church is starting a live band and I'm going to be the drummer I can't wait!

Sweet dude! Good luck with that. It's just making certian sounds, idk if it's how im doing it or just the drum set itself, cause it's a old thing lol

Its very fun to learn The way I learn is to play along with music and try to mimic what the drummer is doing

I'm jealous of anyone who can play drums well. They're so cool.


I can only play them on Band Hero, hehe.

I've played drums for about 8 years and they're SO COOL! They're applicable in so many different musical genres, and you don't even have to have any music theory to improvise and solo.
If you want to play well, then get lessons. There are people who have taught themselves, but few people get to a high level from self-tuition. By taking proper lessons you will learn correct technique that you would otherwise not develop. It may seem boring at first, but drums are an instrument where you can achieve a reasonable level of proficiency before too long if you stick in. Good look and keep the drums going! You won't regret it

I took lessons for about two and a half years. They definitely help!

I play drums. I'm still learning, since I've only been taking lessons since December. I can play simple stuff like slow songs.
