In a pursuit to better inform musicians out there, our drum tutors in the Sutherland Shire regularly post on this blog with tips such as the ones that follow. Enjoy!
Tip #1
The first tip we give to drummers is practice, practice and practice. Without a good practicing schedule, you will not become a good musician. This is a must!
Tip #2
The second tip from Do Re Mi Studios’ Sutherland Shire staff is, play “heel up” on the bass drum for more power and speed. The heel down bass drum technique will work but requires a bit more effort. Also, it’s easier to play heel up technique with quick drum fills.
Tip #3
Tip number three from our drum tutors might sound a bit boring but it will make you a better musician! And that is, learn to read music. By reading drum music, you will be able to teach yourself anything on drums from a book or a magazine.
Tip #4
Tip number four for you to make sure to learn to write (i.e. transcribe) rhythms. This is one of the best ways to learn drumbeats and fills and will help your overall comprehension of music theory and composition.
Tip #5
Finally, tip number five is invest in drum lessons from professional teachers. Lessons will give you structured learning and teachers will guide you on areas that you need to work on.
