How I started to learn drums My wife gifted me a private drum lesson on my last birthday. And I liked a sound of a drum kit. A groove you create that pulsating in your chest. So I decided to continue to take lessons. During 4 months that I've been practicing the drums, I learned how to grip drumsticks and base strokes, how to sit at a drumkit. Some base movements that called rudiments (like a vocabular of drums). My goals for the next couple of months are: - develop my ear to hear the difference between the sound of good and bad strokes - structure my practicing along (what to do, for how long in what tempo) - learn to break down a drum part in my favorite song
