Learn to play drums in harmony with yourself as well as with others

It is wise to learn to make basic drumming sounds and how to play with others first. Many drummers have learned to make sounds but not how to interact in polite, cohesive and harmonious ways. So many times I have been at events where drummers are all playing or soloing at the same time. What is that about? To me it sounds terrible. But that is just my opinion of course. It is competition and ego in my book anyway. Why can’t we take turns one at a time and be patient with each other? It works much better this way. People have different reasons for drumming and no one reason is right or wrong. We all are expressing ourselves in different ways through music. Having said that, I still believe we should not be playing drums to compete. It is simply not about that. In the traditional drum and dance scenes, many drummers try to emulate some of the younger drumming superstars and instead of picking up all the good habits, theypick up some of the negative ones. So, don’t rush and take your time, have patience and let it come across through your lovely drumming style.

The proper etiquette is to go and take proper drum lessons Swansea, Neath before you try to play for it, no matter who you are. If you are not ready to play then you are actually (or could potentially) be holding the class back. The weakest link in the chain makes the chain break and for drumming despite popular opinion it is not the more the merrier. It is about quality not quantity. Also, if you are playing for a dance class you should know the pieces or material they are playing.Learn arrangements and how to play in harmony with others. In my opinion, if you are playing with more than one person, there needs to be arrangements. If there is more than one leader in the group,then please take turns leading. It’s not a power trip and it is not about being the top dog. Arrangements (either traditional or original) help us to play in an organized manner and in harmony with each other. It also helps us to feel the inter connectedness of it all. Drumming is about more than singular self-expression the whole time you are hitting the drum. It is about support, groove and connecting with others in an active or interactive way.
