There are lots of threads on Drummerworld along the lines of 'I can't do this . . . ', 'I'm stuck', 'how do I . . .?' etc.
So, perhaps it's time for a thread in which we can talk about the joy of learning drums. Well, I guess we'll see if anyone else is interested . . .
I'll get things started . . . I'm in an intense phase of learning, pre my band's first gig and I have in the past few days . . .
* spontaneously started using French grip as well as my usual German matched grip
* started really feeling time, counting it, knowing it, consciously as well as unconsciously in my bands set list tunes
* started to really get around the kit, feeling the beats between the groove more for fills etc
* started working on the Purdie shuffle - it came from nowhere. I just started humming it, then thinking it through, and then playing it. I love it when inspiration sneaks up like that
* my hands feel superb, really well worked out almost all the time, and they feel BIG for some reason
I know I'll get lean periods in future, and it'll be good to look back on periods of achievement like this.
So, come on folks, tell us of the joys of learning drums you've experienced recently!
