Lable Drummer
New member
Hi guys, i am Riccardo from Milan (Italy), i am 21 y.o. and it's the first time i write on this forum. I'm doing this because i play drums from the age of 10 and during these years i changed (logically
) me as a person and particularly as a drummer. i always see drums as a sort of natural thing that came from me and not as a unique technique stuffs...I've always been undecided on what would have been my life's way, my future "work" and only in this period i feel very very close the feeling to became a professional drummer. I study for 6 years at a normal music academy in my area, but i was young and the concepts that i learned I struggle to remember them and make them truly mine in a professionally way. But the point is...i would like to start studying drums again because more and more i feel that drums are my way and it's the thing that I feel most mine! I also have a youtube channel on which I have uploaded various covers, but often I find most of my drumming routines playing songs on songs (especially metal) but this does not entail anything new and above all educational! yes of course, I try quite complex songs! but I feel that I miss the technique a lot, unlike the creativity on the set! so, how can I clear up the main drum topics to improve my technique even more? can you do this without a master following you? I would love to start a professional drumming course, studying day by day and getting better and better ... the problem is that I don't know what to study and where to start! would you help me in this?
I can't go back to class privately, for a factor of money and for a factor of people who don't teach metal in my area, but also because honestly I never liked that relationship that is established in class between "teacher and student" or am I wrong?....
i would like to became a professional metal drummer, at least this is the genre that I prefer the most, but who said that maybe during my drumming routines I will not be passionate about other more conventional genres such as funk or jazz?!
so this ... I would like to know if a person can become a professional drummer even by disciplining himself and structuring daily routines on various topics. What topics do you think I can start with? this is the main question.
p.s. sorry for my english
