What if as a beginner drummer you knew exactly where to focus your practicing? What if you could know that you’re practicing the absolute most helpful thing for your technique, coordination, AND creativity on the drums? When I was a beginner, my first drumset teacher only taught me one rudiment (and I’ll tell you what that ONE was in a bit). Instead of focusing on the 40 rudiments, we focused on this “other thing” that makes up the true drumming alphabet. And as a result I quickly built the technical skills I needed (*sidenote: you don’t have to learn rudiments to build hand speed*), the coordination skills I needed, AND the creativity & improvisation skills I needed in order to play my favorite songs. By practicing the true building blocks of drumming vocabulary, you too can shortcut your drumming growth and become more well-coordinated & creative in the process. Today you’ll learn exactly what you should be practicing instead of rudiments, and you’ll find your technique, coordination, and creativity growing exponentially as a result. YOU CAN DO THIS! I believe that YOU can become the drummer everyone wants in their band. Anyone can learn the drums, and you’re far more capable of mastering this instrument than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short! SUBSCRIBE for more Non Glamorous videos that help you know what to practice so that you can gain confidence, nail songs, and be the drummer everyone wants to jam with.
