How to beat a good drum kit and how can I make a good drum kit?

How do you play a drum kit? How do you make a good drum kit? The teacher of the Drumen Club Percussion Club explains how to:

A taboo: narrow purpose, utilitarianism. Some parents are too fancy"Graded exams"Forgetting the fundamental purpose of education, children can not experience the beauty of the first and the joy of playing the drum in the process of learning drums.

Two taboos: rush for success, seedlings to grow. Some parents"Hope for Jackie Chan"Earnest, always suspect that children make slow progress, and often ask teachers to raise the level and improve the level, which violates the objective law of things and produces the opposite effect.

Three taboos: blind comparison, exaggeration and vanity. By doing so, parents will cause unnecessary pressure on their children to treat themselves and others properly.

Four taboos: lack of perseverance, stop when you are in trouble. When children encounter difficulties, some parents do not encourage their children to persevere, but retreat in the face of difficulties and give up easily.

Five taboos: doting and conniving, appeasement and accommodation. Some parents allow their children to practice the drum kit with a lax and lazy attitude from the beginning of their children's learning to play the drums, and let them rest as soon as they say they are tired. Over time, it will cause the child to be unenterprising and have no perseverance.

Six taboos: too demanding, too harsh. Some parents are demanding and rude to their children, scolding and scolding, which can easily hurt their children's self-esteem and enthusiasm, and make them rebellious.

Seven taboos: substitution, everything must be done personally. Some parents are very responsible, and their children must accompany them every time they practice.

But from the beginning of the child's learning to play the drums, the parent's mind replaces the child's mind. Over time, children will feel that learning the drum kit is not their own business, and their minds will be lazy and passive in learning.

Eight taboos: ignore and be indifferent. Some parents think that they have bought a drum kit for their children, hired teachers, and called for tuition, and everything is fine, and they don't care about their children's learning process and difficulties, and even their children do not attend competitions and performances, so that their children feel unwarm and caring.

Nine taboos: blind arrogance, too much praise. Some parents always think that their children are geniuses, and blindly touting them can easily cause their children to not be able to estimate themselves correctly, be blindly proud, and have no one in their eyes.

Ten taboos: pointing fingers and interfering too much. Some parents feel that they are more clever than teachers, and they talk three or four times during class, interfering too much in teaching, making their children confused.

Practice more, this sometimes requires talent.

If Xiao Yu wants to make the drum sound louder, the method that can be used is to hit the drum with more force, increase the vibration amplitude of the drum surface, and increase the loudness of the drum sound.

The loudness of the drum is related to the vibration amplitude of the drum surface and the distance from the sound source. The pitch of the drum is determined by the frequency of vibration of the drum face. The vibration frequency of the drum surface is determined by the nature of the drum itself, such as the size of the drum surface, the degree of tension, the humidity and dryness, the thickness and the elasticity, etc.

When playing the drums, pay attention to playing a weak beat with your left hand and a strong beat with your right hand. In addition to the basic drumming, there are also some fancy movements, such as beating the drum, beating the drum edge, beating the drum stick, pressing the drum, muffling the beating, etc. Drum tapping is the part of the drum that is struck with the left and right drumsticks to make a crisp sound.

The drum side is a few wide bases, and the drum head is used to rebound the drum head after the drum is beaten. At this point, hold the drum head with your palm facing up. At the edge of the drum head, use the drum head to gently flick on the drum head. Pay attention to light and crispy when beating. The Qiaotuan Drum is used to rest after an eighth of a second to reduce the aftersound.

Precautions for playing drums

Sitting: Playing drums will use the weight of your thighs, otherwise your feet must be very hard, just keep your thighs undisturbed. So when sitting on a chair, it is best to sit 1 3 1 2, so that when **, the meat below the thigh will not be bumped by the chair and counteract the power of **.

Grip the stick: The correct grip is to use the thumb and index finger to hold the stick at the place of the drum stick 1 3, and then if you need to strengthen the strength because of the performance effect, such as heavy rock, you can also grasp it at the end.

Swing: A swing is a combination of two parts, including the "wrist" and the "finger". So, every time you swing, there are actually two forces in it.

Wrist: After holding the stick, the wrist moves in the direction of movement, such as pitching, playing basketball dribbling, and shooting darts, that is, the direction of the palm, not the direction of the martial arts hand knife, swinging up and down. And the force of this swing is called "wrist strength".

Fingers: When the wrist swings, the middle finger touches the little finger and the last three fingers, and then, when the wrist is raised, opens with the amplitude of the stick, and then helps hold the stick in place as the stick swings downward, known as "finger force".

1. First of all, when practicing the playing style of the drum kit, you should pay attention to learning the correct sitting posture, you should be close to the drum kit, sit up straight, elbow adduction, and keep a comfortable distance from the footrest.

2. When practicing, start with a quadruple. Practice A's technique first, and then practice B's technique. Until you can play a smooth quadruple, then continue with the rhythm of other genres.

When practicing other rhythm types, you can start by singing a quadruple with the number concept of 1234 as a benchmark to hit the correct position for each rhythm type.

3. Force: The idea is at the tip of the stick. The tip of the stick arcs.

Bring your fingers to open. When the fingers are fully open, drive the wrist to open. When the wrist is fully open, the arm moves.

Personally, I feel that the so-called drumming relies on the wrist is not true. It's the fingers that really matter.

4. Pay attention to the left hand of the key. The mind should pay attention to deliberately improve the ability of the left and right hands to keep up with the right hand. Left-handers are the other way around. Practice technique A first, then technique B. (The derivation of the rhythmic slow-hand A technique is also derived from the corresponding position based on the quadruple).

5. Based on 4 legato 4 4 beats as the measure unit. Practice 8 bars, 6 bars, 4 bars, 2 bars, 1 bars, etc. Try to write exercises that are as loud as possible.

The important thing to pay attention to is to be able to create an exaggerated effect that makes people feel discouraged.

1. How to play the small drum:

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.

2. Bass drum stamping:

The bass drum is struck with the right foot, and in normal cases, the heel is on the back of the pedal, and the ankle joint is used as the axis, and the drumstick is driven to hit the drum with the forefoot to hit the pedal. When trolling, the muscles of the thighs, calves, and feet are relaxed accordingly, and the mallet head should return immediately after hitting the drum surface to form a circular treading action. When playing very strongly, you can hang your foot and tap the pedal with your toes, so that the weight of your right leg falls on one point, so as to strengthen the strength of the pedal and get the desired effect.

3. Stepping on the hairpin:

The hairpin is pedaled with the left foot, and its percussion essentials are to step on the back end of the pedal, with the ankle joint as the axis, and the forefoot pedal pedal is struck by the forefoot, when the forefoot is struck, it does not need to return immediately and needs to control the sustain, resulting in a closed sound effect, which is also different from the right foot drum.

4. Beginner rhythm playing style of drum kit.

1) The practice of double foot hammer is one of the basic qualities of a good drummer.

Pedal hammer to choose a better one. Turn a well-turned ram. Don't be too small.

With each blow, keep the hammer head up. Don't press on the drum skin and can't get up.

Force: The slow is the ankle to maintain elasticity. The upper and lower legs exert force. The fastest thing is the ankle force combined with the light pressure on the upper and lower legs.

2) The basic hammer footwork.

When using a single pedal, your forefoot should be in the middle of the pedal, not too far back or too far back!

When preparing for the movement, the heel should be "falling", the head of the foot should be controlled about 20 cm away from the bottom drum surface (very important), and the soles of the feet and thighs should be relaxed. (Don't learn the method of always lifting your heels).

Each blow should be thigh, calf drive the heel, the sole of the foot in turn, (the heel leaves the pedal but the sole of the foot does not leave the pedal), at this time the head leaves the drum surface to the highest point of the hit (according to different needs, the distance can be adjusted). When falling, the thighs and calves fall naturally. Don't push yourself and you should continue to be relaxed.

Use your ankles to exert force, and at the same time as your heels fall, use your ankles to drive the soles of your feet down! Complete the action of stomping on the air and hitting the drum face. After the blow is completed, the crust will naturally bounce up, and at the same time, the heel will fall, and the crust will be controlled 20 cm away from the drum surface without shaking.

Complete a hit. When stepping on both feet, the left foot is the same as the right foot.

3) Double-click Legato.

For example, take a 5 legato as an example: rrllrllrllrll

Here's how it works: R for right hand and L for left hand. The first note of each beat is accentuated.

This exercise is a classic practice of classical percussion. It has a good effect on the instantaneous finger response. It is a must-practice every day.

Clicking is the most important part of basic training. It is also one of the most commonly used techniques.

1. Small drum percussion method: The drumming action should be completed in an instant, and it should be elastic and full of resonance, and it should be played brightly, intensively, strongly, and powerfully, and play a full 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.

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

2. Bass drum pedaling method: bass drum is pedaled with the right foot, under normal circumstances, the heel is stepped on the back end of the pedal, with the ankle joint as the axis, and the drumstick is driven to hit the drum surface by hitting the pedal with the forefoot ball. When striking, the muscles of the thighs, calves, and feet are relaxed accordingly, and the forefoot should be returned immediately after hitting the forefoot to form a circular treading action.

3. Hi-hat pedaling: Hi-hats are pedaled with the left foot, and its percussion essentials are to step on the heel at the back end of the pedal, with the ankle joint as the axis, and the pedal is pedaled by the forefoot foot.

4. Tomm drum percussion method: Tomm drum playing essentials are the same as small drums, when changing drum playing, you need to use your wrist to drive the small arm and big arm, and naturally move to other parts of the drum to form a natural and coordinated action.
