Use a beginner drum set lesson book to learn to
play drums
Try using a beginner drum set lesson book to learn how to play the
drums. There are many books offering drum set lessons suitable to
learn on your own. This is a great tool to use anytime and at your
own pace. You will find that each drum book available at music
stores and online will differ in their approach of instruction. You, the
student, will have to take the time to figure out what manual will work
for you.
Where to find drum manuals
You can find many drum manuals at your local music store. They
will vary in prices depending on the content, added CD/DVD, and the
author that wrote it.
Even try online and possibly get a better deal than you would from a
brick and mortar establishment. Not to forget to mention, by searching
online, you will be exposed to other authors/musicians selling their books
that you will not find in stores.
You found your book
You finally purchase your drum lesson book and are ready to embark
on the journey of playing the drums. The most important step is to
setting up a plan as to how you will self-teach. First, write down on
paper when and the amount of time in the day that you will devote to
practicing. Will it be in the morning, afternoon, or at night? Will you
practice for 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour?
Next, what will you practice? This is important in that it will help you
stay on target of your learning. Focus on the basics until you are solid
at what you are performing before moving onto more difficult lessons.
In other words, perform the simplest techniques slowly and purposely
then gradually increase your speed until fully confident. Do the same
for all of the exercises. What is wonderful about learning from these
lessons is that you can refer back to them at anytime and brush up
what you might need to strengthen.
Take a lesson
Do not be opposed to taking a lesson or two from a qualified drum
teacher. There is always room for improvement and new techniques.
The private lesson will enhance what you have learned and broaden
your awareness to different styles of playing. Be sure to share with
your teacher the book that you are learning from. He or she may
work from the one you have or suggest something different.
Have fun learning
Have fun learning from your book all the steps that it takes to be a
great drummer. Some steps may be difficult but if you are patient and
focused, you will overcome the difficulty and be ready for other lessons
waiting for you.
