Ok, so I want to start playing drums but I don't know where to start. I really just want to start playing straight up metal and see if I can eventually get to playing Metalcore and hardcore music. I've been a guitarist for 8 years and I've got some idea on drum playing, but never really sat down and played, except for Rock Band (what a wannabe right?) So I wanted to know which drum instructionals are really good (I'm in another country, drum teachers are non-existent here). Plus, I don't even have a drumset yet, but I've been looking and I have the cash and I don't know which sets are the best. Please any advice would be good, sorry I came here and bothered, but facebook really didnt offer any pages where I could ask. I'm kind of embarrassed to ask some of these questions, but I really didnt know where else to look for advice. Please add anything that could help me out as a starter. THANKS!!
