how would you teach someone to learn drums, knowing what you know now?
I am trying to teach myself, and I have a pretty good routine going for when I practice. I spend an equal amount of time on
-snare roll
-tom/kick triplets (bonham thing, i hope you know what i mean)
-kick drum speed, double kicks (using single kick pedal) (I usually play a funk beat or something and practice this)
-fast punk rock beats
-swing
-spend a small amount of time playing fills
this is about 45-60 minutes and I noticed that every time I sit down my powers are greater. I have also spent some time playing along to CD's and mimicking fills and stuff, as well as spent some time just playing to a metronome.
So far, so good, but what other stuff am I missing?? (A lot, I'm sure) If you could list in order what you would try to accomplish. A lot of people say they just play until they find something they can't do, then practice until they can do it. what are those things? what order would you learn them in ? show me a road map....
