From a very early age in my life I had the
desire to play the drums and wanting to be a professional.
My desire to learn was great I drove many miles to
learn from top professionals Paul Brody who was the BBC orchresta drummer was a great
influence in my life I lived in Bristol at the time and would drive to Bournmouth every 2
weeks for a drum lesson he was a great teacher.
Fortunatley today its much easier with the
internet almost anybody can get lessons from top professionals online
Learning
drums how long does it take?
Learning
drums is no different to any other musical instrument you never really stop learning. However I
have had some students who have been dedicated and put a lot of hard work and achieved amazing
results in just a few months. It’s really down to how much you are able to
practice.
How will I know if I have the talent to play the
drums?
One thing is
for sure you will never know unless you try. However my theory is that in order to play the
drums the average person has five percent talent and 95 percent work ethic.
If you were
to take 10 people from the street and with the right direction I believe anybody can play the
drums if they are prepared to put the work in. The good old saying you only get out what you put
in is so true even today.
Am I too old to play the
drums?
As you can
imagine there is a certain amount of physical strength involved in learning drums but if you are
fit then there is no age barrier. It’s a great way to keep fit and believe me it gets rid of a
great deal of stress not to mention the fun side.
Do I need to be able to read drum music in order to play
the drums?
There are
many very good drummers that are not able to read music however they will always be limited to
the ability to hear something and make an attempt to play it.
I feel
learning to read music is a very important step towards learning drums. The reason I would say
this on the internet today there is no need to spend a fortune on private lessons if you learn
to read music and buy the right products you will be amazed to what is
available.
I have found
some amazing products on the Internet today I wish was available when I started playing drums
that are very cost effective in fact you can get 5 free lessons today
