By Oscar L. Drinkard


There are plenty of ways on how to play drums. You could watch tutorial video clips, read PDF files or consult for a music teacher to assist you. But regardless of what sort of way you would choose to learn on how to play it, you should have the persistence to really master the said musical device.

Compared to learning how to play other instruments like the guitar, the drums can be a bit tricky to master because you will be using both your hands and feet while playing it. Not to mention know the proper timing in every beat that you create. If a beat goes off even a little bit then the tempo of the music will be disrupted. And will completely mess up the music played by the band. Considering that the drum beats are considered the heartbeat of the band music itself. It provides more impact and life when combined with other musical instruments.

Music Sheets to Learn How to Play Drums

Now also keep in mind that once you learn how to play drums, you'll produce lots of sound not just sounds but noises as well. You have to consider the place where you are actually training. Some people might be quite annoyed with the amount of noise which you create when you are still a beginner and is still rehearsing the different drum rudiments so make certain that you do not annoy all of your neighbors by rehearsing in the middle of the night. That would be just rude.

You can also acquire those drum music sheets in which you could read and follow the beats. In case you can't remember all the drum patterns and beats of a particular song, you could use music sheets to help you. But of course you first need to understand how to read them. These would be a part of your primary training. So learning the basics is really a must.

If you like to know how to play the drums, master 1st the basics. It will save you a whole lot of complications then jumping from one song to the next without having fully understanding exactly what you are doing. It is less complicated and a whole lot better. And do not forget to enjoy yourself while learning.
