Hi guys,
I'm what you call a newbie drummer and one who is extremely passionate and enthusiastic about it, I'm sure you all can relate. All I do this summer is work that basic 9 to 5 job, Financial Analysis, @ work prob do work 40% of time and think about drumming the other 60% haha. SO I basically then drum every sec I can. I even wake up at 3am in the morning (for the past 2 months) and drum till the dreadful 7:30am rolls around and I have to get ready for work.
I've been working religiously on my rudiments, stick control, feet, Snare reading and playing, and counting. Is this anything else I should focus some time on? Anyways my biggest REGRET in life which I feel is my parents fault haha is not starting earlier. So I just started this thread to see if theres others like me or if anyone could help with my progression.
Goals: Get as good a I can (till I die), play at church or start a band or start playing at gigs(when capable), become teacher later, pretty much anything to do with drum. Hopefully make it a career later in life.
Reason: Passion, Fun accomplishment, excitement & LOVE for the drums.
PS: finding this site was such a relief, because I find out that theres other out there that share the same passion.
My set:- Its not so good, but I think I have some good things, feel free to criticize:
-Sabian cymbals:
-HH-14"
-Ride- 20"
-Crash- 16"
-Pulse Shell pack (Beginners)
-Pearl Customer Masters Snare 14X6.5 (My favorite thing ever)
-Pearl eliminator double pedal (way better then my stock, love it)
Questions: :
I got a pearl double bass, is that to soon since I'm still working on my single?
-Should I get a china or splash soon?
-Don't have time for teacher, but should I get one once I do?
-I use lots of videos and tools on line for the time being, any recommend ones?
-Plus any other advice?
Plus if there is anyone else in my possition, please comment on your situation.
