I picked up the sticks around a year ago now. I live in an apartment so bought a standard Yamaha DTX500 e-kit. The trouble is, as much as I love watching other people drum, every time I sit down I will just hit whatever going around the kit until I get bored about 10-15 minutes in. Rinse and repeat every day...
I did have lessons when I first started for about a month, I learnt the basics and couldn't really afford it anymore.
I want to actually find a proper routine and improve though. I'm far too scared to take a song on... they all seem to complex what with your fills etc. I've heard a few people say 'just jam along' but will this really improve my drumming? Hitting the incorrect notes to a song?
As I say, I love drums, I just need a kick up the backside down the right route!
