Learn How to Play Drums A Beginners Guide
Learning how to play the drums can be fun, the more you practice the better you will become at playing the drums. Before you start learning how to play the drums there are a few things that you will need to buy. You will also need to decide how you want to learn. You can learn to play the drums by hiring a private tutor or by watching professional drum lesson DVD's. Both methods have their advantages but DVD drum lessons work out much cheaper! And, you can learn at your own pace from the comfort of your own home, read on for useful tips and advice.
Essential Equipment
Firstly, before you start learning how to play the drums you will need to buy a drum set. A 5 Piece Drum Set is sufficient for you start practicing at beginner level and even to play at professional level. With so many drum sets on the market choosing the right drum set can be confusing. However, you can pick up a decent drum set by shopping online, prices start from $170 upwards, checkout Bridgecraft & Yamaha drums for cheap deals. Don't forget a pair of drumsticks, The Vic Firth American Classic Nylon Tip drumsticks start from $7.00 and they are great for playing drums!
Practice Room
Second, you might want to consider creating a soundproof drum room to practice in. By placing insulating material on walls it can create a thick structure that blocks the transmission of sound, Auralex Studiofoam Wedge Panels start from $50 per pack and can be used to soundproof your practice room. All you have to do is staple or glue the foam pieces to your walls or hire a professional acoustician to do it for you. It is not essential that you do this but worth consideration if your neighbours start complaining.
Choose A Genre & Find A Drum Tutor Now that you have everything you'll need to start playing the drums it's time for you to start learning to play. There are many genres of drum beats to play, such as rock, jazz, r&b, Latin and African drums, finding a good drum teacher who covers all aspects of modern drumming in your chosen genre is important. Look in a well-know music paper or magazine such as BILLBOARD to find a good tutor, private lessons can cost up to $2000 per year.
Learn How to Play The Drums with DVD's
I highly recommend The Complete Drumming System DVD course designed for beginners & experienced players, whether you are dreaming of starting a band, striking the snares or playing solo you will certainly learn everything you need to know! Learn how to play drums by ear, drum theory and notation, hand technique, drum rudiments, foot techniques, rock, blues, funk, reggae, shuffles, jazz, Latin and drum fills!

How do i tell if my vic firth drumsticks are real or fake?
So then, i purchased a pair of drumsticks today . i live in china, and i got it from a music store on this street that sells guitars/drums. its prretty well known. i got vic firth 5A hickory american classic drumsticks. they were 50 RMB, which is like 7 dollars. They have the proper wrapping and design as the pictures i see on the vic firth american website. but is there anything that i can check to see the difference between real and fake? thank you very much.
