Welcome

 

This is Lesson Seven of the Drum Tutorial I have written. It's for absolute beginners to drums and drumming. An easy and understandable way for people to learn how to play the drums. If you follow these tutorials at your own pace and you have a pinch of rhythmic ability before too long you will be able to hold a steady beat. If you haven't read it yet you better head over there now. Otherwise none of this will make sense to you. And now on to the lesson five...

Simple Snare Fill 

Ideally you wouldn't do this on every fourth bar when playing an actual song. But for the purposes of practise and precision you should when repeating this exercise.

Dexterity 

Next we are going to get your left AND right hands to hit the snare.

L = Left, R = Right.



Once you've got it nailed swap it around so you're playing "Right Left Right" instead of "Left Right Left".

Recommended Eating 

Fresh RAW bananas are one of the richest sources of potassium and a good source of fiber. They also help keep your muscles from cramping. If you're planning on a big drumming practice or jam session, have some on hand.

About Jukebox

Music is a basic instinct of man. It's primal. People find themselves drawn by music, compelled by music. It inspires, encourages, educates, drives and guides. It is an emotion that can be felt as much as it can be heard.
