How to be a better Drummer
These is my tips.
1) Take your time! In general people go stright in head first into tasks, which shows a keeness, but with reguards to learning something envolving all you limbs, take it very slowly at the start and then build it up and up and up!
2) Listen to other styles of music that you would normally, even better swap your Ipod with a friend and see what happens! Learn to appreiate the different styles.
3) Practice things that you can’t play, this is when your focus should be on learning something new, or adding things together eg. new fills to a much loved groove, or new style of playing to old fills etc.
4) Try everything left handed and left footed! The thought of doing something, anything opposite is un-natural, but in the case of drums and playing them, I think playing left-handed is the most challenging thing you could give your self! You’ll see when you try.
5) Remember that there is always something new to learn or look at! Someone will always come along with a new groove, fill, style, way of playing, new method… just make sure you have a go, at the very least.
