I want to learn to play the drums. Best way to start?


(EDIT : I AM NO LONGER LEARNING THE DRUMS)

A simple tip you may already know...

Never pull the stick back up. Let the drum do it for you. The only motion you need to make is a downward one. Let the stick bounce back up.

That is one of the best tips for beginers as if you don't learn that way, it can be pretty hard to get into the habbit later on.

Thanks, mate. More tips please people!

TEACH ME NOW DAMMIT. I MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE.

This may seem like a really far out and wacky suggestion but have you ever contemplated music lessons?

Too poor. I need free advice. Hell, I don't even have a kit yet. I was hopin Al would teach me something tho .

Yeha he might. If I were you I would start saving money for a kit and lessons. You are gonna need a kit no matter what, you will need to practice. Until you have a kit you really aren't gonna get all that far mate.

But if I buy a kit and then suck at it I'll have wasted £stupid and have no reason to live.

Ok well if you want you can probably come round and have a jam on my bro's kit sometime, he will teach you some basic stuff and then if you are still interested try getting a few taster lessons somewhere like the music stores in town, after that you should have a pretty good idea of whether you want to make the commitment to learning it.

Yuh. That was my plan. That would be quality tho, could u ask ur bro for me? Tell him I love him .
