I'm brand new to drumming. I'm takeing lessons every week & its moveing along great. In between lessons I practice what I have been given to learn for that session. My question is two fold. I would like to video tape my lesson & be able to play it back on either my TV or computer once I get home. Also between lessons I have been trying to play along with music videos from my computer. I get stuck on parts of some songs and i want to re-play those parts over and over to try and pick up whats going on. So my first question is this, is there a camera out there that I can use to video my lessons & also record songs off my computer? The second part would be that I would like to be able to loop portions of my lesson or music at either slow motion or full speed & view it on either the TV or computer. Is there anything out there that might do what i'm looking for? Go Pro? Any ideas.....Thanks......Gene
 
A Zoom Q2 is an example of a camera that could record your drum lessons.
If you want to record YouTube videos onto your computer then you have to use software that allows you to do that. iSkysoft is one example of software that you could use to record videos off of YouTube onto your computer. There are others.
If you want to play along with music videos then you have to use an interface and a microphone/s along with software to digitize your drums into your computer so that you can hear the mix of your drums and the music that you are playing along with.
You can also mic your drum kit through a mixer/interface and send the audio from the videos that you are playing along with to the mixer and blend the sounds together.
Always think of audio and video as separate entities.
This video shows a simple approach for beginners. http://youtu.be/FvorcWZ7-4w
Here is a more complicated way. http://youtu.be/K6dEbEYVYVc
Here is a video that I made where I removed the camera audio and I replaced it with the full mic audio from my interface. If I was doing a cover I would have mixed in the audio from the pre recorded tracks that I was covering. http://youtu.be/Jzq-yJCbVtc?list=UUh7T_z7aZsnUZmj_RjNYoHA
I used a Zoom Q2 camera, a Tascam US-1800 interface with 6 mic-s, GarageBand recording software, iMovie video editing software, along with my MacBook Pro.
