Seek the basics of the drum kit and how to get started...

The drummer is the soul of the band, and the reason for this is that he controls the rhythm and speed of the whole group. A good drummer must not only have comprehensive skills, but also have a strong understanding and expression ability. Of course, this is accumulated little by little from the roots!

Drums are relatively simple compared to other instruments. Because it does not involve harmony, modulation, tonality, etc., it requires knowledge of rhythm and speed, as well as the coordination ability of the limbs, so it is recommended to buy a basic music theory book and read it often to lay a good foundation for theory.

For beginners, the first is to stabilize the speed, the left foot on the cymbal pedal to follow the metronome to do speed exercises, after determining the stability, add the accent of the right foot foot drum in, the rhythm pattern starts from 4 notes, and then gradually progresses to 8 minutes 16 minutes, triplets and other rhythmic rhythms, if you are willing to work hard, you can complete the basic rhythmic coordination practice of both feet in about 3-5 months.

At this time, it is time to open the wrist, first of all, standardize the method of holding the drum stick, and then relax the click, pay attention to the muscle relaxation when practicing, observe the position of the drum and try to control the strength. It's hard to say all at once.

To sum up: music theory + speed + rhythmic pattern + listening + tonality + stable speed + musicality + hard practice + diligent thinking and striving to draw inferences + comprehension ability.

Hope it helps. If you have any other specific questions, there is my information in the space.

Forty international snare drums. Youku has it. Believe in the contemptible people.

There are 4 basic types of hitting: full stroke, down stroke, tap stroke, and up stroke.

The following are the four types of strokes:

Full stroke: The drum stick is struck downward from the high point, after hitting the drum skin, use the elastic force of the drum skin to make the drum stick rebound to the original high point and control the drum stick, so that the drum stick stops at the high point.

Down Stroke: The drum stick is struck from the high point downward, and after hitting the drum skin, control the drum stick so that the drum stick stops at the low point.

Tapstroke: The drum stick is struck from the low point, and after hitting the drum skin, control the drum stick so that the drum stick stops at the low position.

Up Stroke: Hit the drum stick from the low point downward, and quickly lift the drum stick upwards after hitting the drum skin, so that the drum stick stops at the high position. The action of lifting the drum stick can imagine the action of pulling the rod while fishing.

The standard requirement for the position of the high point is about 30cm away from the drum skin, generally not less than 30cm, not higher than 90°. The requirement for the low point is 2-3cm away from the drum skin.

In order to improve the rhythm and layering of the drums, it is necessary to control the intensity of the beating according to the specific situation, so that the timbre of the performance has obvious changes in strength. To do this, you need to be proficient in the above four striking styles. In other words, learning these four striking styles is to be able to play light and accent smoothly.

1. Familiar with drum sticks.

The first step for beginners to learn the drums is to find the feel for the drum sticks. To know the correct posture of holding the drum stick, novices are generally recommended to use the thumb and index finger to buckle the drum stick at one-third of the drum stick, and the remaining three fingers to hold the drum stick homeopathically, mainly with the thumb and sliding pin index finger force, the back of the hand facing up.

Note that playing the drum stick is not really "hitting", but throwing it out and finding the feeling of throwing the whip.

2. Play dumb drums.

If you want to learn the real thing, at least for the first three days, the teacher will definitely let you play the dumb drum pad instead of touching the real drum. Playing the dumb drum is the basic skill of learning the drum kit, and only when the basic skills are practiced solidly, can the real drum play be handy.

When playing the dumb drum, the dumb drum pad should be adjusted to the appropriate position, and it is recommended to be parallel to the navel, and when playing, you must turn on the metronome and start practicing from 60.

The basics of a drum kit: single jump; double jump; Meet the jump; Triplets, pentatos, etc.

1. Single hop, click. That is, each hand hits the center of the drum skin once, and the strength needs to be in place, otherwise you will not be able to hold on to it while practicing your hands.

2. Double jump, each time each hand hits the drum skin twice, the volume of these two times must be exactly the same. The quadruple of the double jump must be steady, and the interval between each note must be the same.

3. Conforming jump, that is, the combination of single jump and double jump. Similarly, except for the first note of each 4 legato is stressed, the other 3 beats must be steady and the dynamics must be consistent.

4. Triplet, pentadyotech, etc. The beginning of each legato is still stressed, and the metronome must be used when practicing, but how loud the metronome sounds, when the accent covers the metronome and the sound of the metronome cannot be heard, the beat will be correct.

Drum kit introduction:

1. The drum kit, also known as the jazz drum, is a percussion instrument, which integrates many percussion instruments, and the basic combination includes a big drum, a snare drum, two middle drums, a floor drum, a foot cymbal and two copper cymbals. The prototype originated in China and can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. It is mostly used in the Chinese New Year temple fairs, non-standard and royal musical instruments.

It was introduced to Europe and the United States in the late Qing Dynasty, and Europeans and Americans were inspired and reformed.

2. When jazz rose in the 1920s, it was often used in jazz performance. Formed in the 40s of the 20th century, the Lunazi drum contains a variety of different types of percussion instruments and foot percussion instruments with different timbres. Hand percussion instruments include snare drums, toms, and cymbals, and foot percussion instruments include drums and cymbals.

3. On this basis, additional percussion instruments can be added or removed at any time according to the needs of performance. In a band, the drummer is in control of the tempo and rhythm of the piece, especially in jazz, where the drummer needs to maintain a tacit relationship with other musicians.
