Learning Drums - How Difficult Is It?

Learning drums is certainly not a walk in the park, but on the other hand it's not rocket science either. You will need willingness to learn and the right approach. For most people this may come as a surprise, but talent is really not that important when you're learning drums or any musical instrument for that matter. It's good if you have any, it's definitely easier, but it alone won't get you very far.

Remember - all great musicians have one thing in common - they are hard workers. You have to understand that playing a musical instrument, and drums are no exception, is mainly a skill. And you know how skills are - first you have to learn them and then you have to train and practice to improve them. There are no shortcuts. If you want to learn how to drum, the first thing you need will be lessons. But not just any lessons, you will need well structured, quality drum lessons for beginners.

There are many ways today to find lessons nowadays. You have lots of choices - books, the internet, DVDs, music classes, and if you can afford it - a private instructor. The best is, of course, a private instructor, but don't worry - you can do just fine without it. The next best thing are in my opinion DVDs. One of the best DVD course I have seen is from Legacy Learn & Master Series. Definitely worth a look.

Drumming For Beginners - Drum Courses On DVD

Question: Are drum courses on DVD a good choice for beginners? Answer: Yes. They are probably the most effective, not to mention affordable way to step into the world of drumming. Beginners need guidance and step by step lessons plan. They need to know exactly what and how to practice. They need to see and hear what they should be doing. Obviously, DVDs can help. Of course, not all drum instruction DVDs are created equal, but generally speaking, they can provide you with everything you need to get you started. At the beginning it's important to follow a well-structured lesson plan. You have to focus on the fundamentals and not try to bite more than you can chew. You don't want to get frustrated and discouraged too soon. DVDs have many advantages. Here are just a few of them:

Price - very inexpensive, especially when compared to private instructors

Convenience - learn at your own pace and at your own schedule

Availability - they are available to just about anyone

You get to learn from a top notch drummer

In conclusion, I would definitely say that DVD courses can be of great help, especially to beginners. But you always have to remember - only practice makes perfect.

P.S. Here's probably one of the best DVD courses in existence - www.drumming4beginners.com/drum-lessons-on-dvd.htm. Highly recommended.
