Tips for Beginner Drummers
A lot of people decide they want to learn to play drums early on in life; many as children or teens, who eventually go into music programs in school and learn a lot from that. For some of us, however, it is not that easy. I started drumming at the age of 27, and for me, that made it much harder in the beginning. Although I had taken chorus and marching band in high school, I had never attempted or tried to play the drums before, so a lot of things that I thought I knew about drumming were totally different than I expected. In spite of that fact, one thing was for sure; there was nothing like the feeling of playing my first beat. There is something to be said for the passion, elation, and extreme high that learning to play the drums gives us. That is what has kept me going for the past couple of years.
