OK, about all I can do is keep a beat, I don't have a huge amount of technique since I am new to this. How do you learn a really hard song? When I played guitar, I got where I could just hear it, find the chords and fingerings, and nail it down, now on drums, stuff is happening so fast it is hard to even catch all the hits.
For example, I have been diddling with 'Karneval 9' by emerson Lake and Palmer, and Carl Palmer just goes off on those drums for the whole song, he is playing scary stuff the whole tune. I can play through it one time (well, fake through it) and I am sweating trying to keep up.
I just can't hear fast enough to know all the drums to hit....what does it take? Just listening and experience? or is it better at this stage to get sheet music and learn from that? i can read well.
thanks for advice people, I do appreciate it.
