I’m having a lot of trouble... separating (?) my right arm from my right leg. i.e. I am really struggling to separate my hi hat and kick drum. Anyone have any advice or drills you have or still to use to help with this?
Could you be more specific, please?Do you read?
That’s not the problem. Not enough basics is the problem. Also we need some clarification: what are you exactly trying to do?....I read a little. My son is teaching me, but so far I play mainly by ear. Maybe that’s my problem, huh?
In my opinion, all depends on your targets in life..
If you want to just be able to play a simple beat and stay like that your whole life, there is no need at all to learn to read..
But, like has been said before, if you really want to understand rhythmical concepts and therefore really grow as a player, reading is a must..
Also to this rule are exeptions btw, since for example Dennis Chambers also can not read music (this as a sidenote)..
Another advantage is, that once you can read all of a sudden you have access to a never ending source of information (books, etc)..
