How do beginners practice snare drums?

The snare drum, also known as the snare drum, is one of the most important instruments in Western atonal percussion, and it is one of the drum kits. The playing posture of the snare drum is also the playing posture of the drum kit. In drum kit performance, the foot needs to step on the drum and the hairpin at the same time, so it is played in a seated position.

When playing, the posture should be upright, and the upper body limbs such as chest, shoulders, and arms should be naturally relaxed. When playing, the arms are naturally bent upwards and placed on the drum surface, both hands hold the mallet, the second joint of the thumb of the right hand and the second and third joints of the index finger hold the handle of the drumstick, the thumb and the third joint of the index finger are naturally together, and the palms of the middle finger, ring finger and little finger are bent, and a certain gap is maintained with the mallet handle to control the drumstick. With the palm of your left hand facing inward, hold the handle of the drumstick at the mouth of the thumb and index finger, and hold the bottom of the drumstick with the third joint of the ring finger.

The other fingers naturally bend towards the palm to form a ball.

To master the correct posture of holding the hammer, it is also necessary to have the correct way to play. In training, you must remember the word percussion, that is, you have to play. After the drumstick is struck on the drum surface, the preparatory action for the drum must be resumed immediately.

The drumming action should be completed in an instant, and it should be elastic and full of resonance, and it should be played brightly, centrally, strongly, dynamically, and with a rich sound effect. Beginners should also pay attention to the position of the striking, which should be three to five centimeters from the center point of the snare drum. In addition, there are side strokes, damping side strikes, alternating strikes, rolling plays, and so on.

When practicing, you can practice with one hand first, then with both hands, or you can practice with both hands alternately.

Recall your previous methods, I hope it will help you.

First of all, use the buckle wrist. It doesn't have to be too fast at first, the speed is between 60-80. The rhythm type is recommended to use a mixed rhythm pattern of 8th notes and 16th notes, and you can play the first beat with your left hand, which has the effect of practicing your left hand.

It can be accelerated slowly later. More than 120 can be done.

First of all, novices should train their wrist strength well, they should use German-style wrist buckles, practice as slowly as possible, so that the hands can remember, and the left hand should strengthen the exercises, so that the strength of the left and right hands is equal, and the action is even. It is good to practice quadruples, try to be as slow as possible, 40 is enough.

Before practicing by yourself, you have to listen carefully to other people's playing, that is, listen to more songs, even if it is a song, listen to it several times, pay attention to how the drummer controls the beat, and plays a strong note.

I remember listening to a radio program one day in which local singer Sui Youyu Yu "Zijie" was invited as a guest. An enthusiastic listener said on the show's Weibo (I like Zijie's song "Love Items" very much, I have listened to it dozens of times.) But the singer Zijie replied (why don't you listen to it as much as I do, I have listened to it at least a thousand times from the beginning of creation, to recording, to mixing, to publishing.

After listening to it, you must seriously understand the feelings of the song. This way, you can get involved while you are playing the drums. If you don't understand anything, then you can't get involved, and you just have to play a rhythmic type, and there is nothing to appreciate.

The teacher thinks you're playing badly, and that's probably it. If you don't even understand the emotions in the song, just play a rhythmic type, then you will be just as ugly if you play for another ten years.
