Beginner Drumming Independence - Drum Lesson (DRUMEO)

[@AndreaBoccarusso]

Funny! I play guitar and bass, and I always loved to learn drums too. The first exercise I would try to do (by instinct) was right the first you described! Because I noticed this "coordination problem" between right food and right arm as you showed us. Thanks for these gold videos, I think I'll learn the basics in less time with your help!

[@EastenSchick]

I play bass too! For some reason the first one is easy 😆

[@Radtrad_strada]

This is probably one of the most important videos for beginners out there. Capture it and store it on your hard drive before it gets deleted coz its a 💎

It took me all day to figure out correct terminology to ask about this. I've only been playing in a church band (Praise & Worship songs). Never touched drums but always wanted to, wasn't sure if I could at 45 yo. But this old dog still learning those new tricks! With help of your videos, I feel like I've had a strong start. We've played 5 or 6 songs for church and received lot of positive comments. I love Mercyme but several of their songs have a snare or kick drum between the hi hat hits. Everytime I practiced those songs, I had these same problems. I'm going to start practicing these exercises and see how it goes. I signed in for free trial but just can't afford the lessons right now but hopefully will at some point. Jared, you are the coolest ever. Thanks man. I'll give you an update when I've mastered it or if I'm just ready to quit. - - - Mike Darnell

[@antoinettesalamone4338]

Don't quit! I just started 2 weeks ago and I'm 52 years old. I'm learning a lot from these videos. Lots and lots of practice. It's hard, but we can do this! God bless, man. Keep practicing!

[@davidcha8202]

I'm 15 and currently about to join praise team, and I've been learning for 4 months now but this is very difficult to handle, but hopefully God provided the right video.

Excellent tutorial my 9 year old won't listen to my advice so I said. There is a kit in the garage knock yourself out and when you want to learn something come and see me. 20 minutes later after sounding like he was building a shed, he had got bored and wanted to learn something. I sat him down and said watch and listen to what this guy is saying. 10 minutes later he's back in the garage and playing 8th notes on the hats quarter notes on the bass drum and half notes on the snare. I think he has caught the bug. ROCK 'n' ROLL!

[@abhisheksud1991]

Your parents sound so supportive I asked for a drum set for christmas for 2 years in a row when I was like 11 and 12, they could've gotten me a practice pad or something but nope, just barely bought a 350 dollar electric one and I'm 23

[@rohanudas6805]

[@MsJdub99]

Metronome and counting will make a world of difference. Eventually muscle memory takes over a bit, but as a beginner, I have only gotten better by counting with an app called "Drum Beats +" - you can set it to count in, and it's not just a metronome, it has a section called basic training where you hear the actual drums playing, can slow or speed it up. So you match yourself to it. Been helpful for me, along with these types of tutorials.

[@RAGINGWATERS70]

[@ArcDrums]

I've been playing the drums for about a year now, I struggled with this a lot. I don't struggle with it now, but I enjoy watching the beginner videos :)

[@abc456f]

A great song to learn to play along with is "Ticket to Ride". I set my e-drums to play a tambourine when I close the high hat. This song really forces you to have independence of both feet, and playing both hands together, other than the bridge. Took me a while to get it right, but once you get it, it's a lot of fun. Ringo may not have been the greatest technical wizard, but his grooves are great for learning how to play for the song. I think as a beginner, he's a good role model to follow. I also find AC/DC and Bad Company are cool to play along with doing a simple rock beat, and you can slowly add in your own fills. Good luck to all beginners like me!

[@pjscoular]

Great tutorial Jared. I started drumming yesterday and I'm a 70 yo lefty. This tutorial is going to help big time. I thought it was going to be easy, but it isn't.....

[@snow4feetdeep467]

I'm 66 and just beginning also.

[@legolator]

I had the same problem when i started playing, could not separate my limbs at gun point. I practiced pretty much the same pattern as you only i did it all the time on my knees and tapping my feet on the floor. I got the hang of it after a couple of days. Do you have any tips on learning to use Ghost-notes?

[@mattlikesdrumming]

he has a few hand speed and endurance videos on his website, all you gotta do is practice whatever you like but making sure you feel that burn in your wrists/shins. that burn is you increasing your speed and endurance. and yes, lifting helps with general stamina and energy (unless you drum right after you lift!)

[@jonjones1000]

great lessons i really love the "x-fill" video. when i first started i was very uncomfortable with everything,from setting up my kit to posture to just playing around on the kit. Your videos really helped in all my problem areas.Slowing down and being relaxed is a big thing.....thanks and keep em' comming.

[@AtanasovPetar]

i have been playing drums for few months and i had this problem not being able to separate my right hand with right foot.If anyone has trouble with it i suggest using the moeller technique at least on the right hand.That motion makes it easier to separate the right hand because you fill in the up beat with a movement.Don't play doubles just use the whip motion for singles.My 2 cents i may be totally wrong but this is what helped me.

[@DrumeoOfficial]

I like the phrase you used "splitting up your limbs" I think when you achieve that, you can declare your ability to play drums.

Beginner drummer here, thanks for posting this video.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

After buying myself a small e-kit to learn on recently, limb independence (or lack thereof) is ofc the first big hurdle I ran into. I looked up a bunch of different "independence exercises" videos and tried a couple but mostly just struggled. Exercise #1 in this video is the first one that actually landed for me and I was dropping that kick in on the "and of 3" within the first couple of minutes. Don't get me wrong: I'm not like, "I'm a drum genius now and my limbs are completely independent!" I know it's going to take lots of practice to really burn those new neural pathways because I'm still occasionally forgetting the kick on the 1, my right foot (or shin, really) is getting tired fast, and I feel like every time I get the pattern and start to have fun with it, all four of my limbs suddenly go, "Wait... wtf?" and everything goes off the rails. But, still, not bad for a few minutes of practice on a single exercise and - most importantly - it showed me that, yes, I actually can do this (which, after a few of those other videos I tried, I was beginning to question). I know there's a lot of struggle in my future - that's the nature of learning anything new - but these simple exercise have also allowed me to have my first few minutes of fun practicing the drums and that's pure gold. Thanks, Jared!

[@oneohsix106]

Out of curiosity since your shin is getting tired, are you playing your kick drum with your heel down or heel up? Might be helpful to look into and try heel up technique so it doesn’t fatigue your shin as fast!

[@TheMusikI]

Good video man. I'm just starting out with drums, though I've played other instruments for several years. I think the exercises you and others describe will help my playing sound more sophisticated and hopefully help with my keyboarding as well

[@abc456f]

I've played piano/keyboard most of my life (62). Was never great but learned chords and played off of them while singing. Got my first e-drum kit about 2 years ago, an Alesis Dm7x which really isn't very good. Last week I upgraded to a Roland td-17kvx. What a difference! But since I started playing the drums, I've hardly touched my keyboard. I love trying to play along with my favorite songs. I need to work on adding in different fills at this point. I tend to play the same groove with every song. But drums are a whole lot of fun, frustrating at times, but still a blast!

[@mikelovesdeb]

Jared if you dont mind I would like to lend a helpful hand for you with your Bass Drum Foot,Try and keep your heel up off the pedal more it may be uncomftable at first but with time it will greatly help you with speed,single,double triplets. hope this helps you,thnx. Mike-use the ball of the bottom of your foot if need be raise your Drum Throne the height increase will keep you from rest your whole foot on the bass peadal base plate and cause you use the right part of you foot, thank you,Mike D.

[@AmbientJoe]

I'm new to drumming, I can do some complicated rolls and beats... stick a different bass independent beat and I'm screwed. so glad I found this video. some practices I think.

[@Unclebeamis]

I'm just like wow. I've been playing for just a bit but it has all been so generic sounding. Just like you said I couldn't separate right hand and bass. After watching this and doing it for an hour I nailed it. When I'd get frustrated I'd just close my eyes and focus on the sound and not how it looks. I do the same thing with guitar. Long winded just to say. Wow!

Check this channel... I have a 3-part series on ghost notes.

[@poppinlochnesshopster3249]

Is it bad that I didn't see the kicks between notes as difficult at all starting out? I saw it as the next note in the sequence, not sandwiched in between 2 other notes, so I just moved x2 speed to do the kick, then x2 speed to hit the note right after, then back to x1 speed. It wasn't a smooth "tap tap tap(kick in the middle) tap" in my head, the last tap would be put on hold and gone back to after the kick, but still got the timing decently.

Thanks for sharing this. During quarantine my daughter (who is 4) has forgotten a lot about her independence. The other thing is she plays open. She is more comfortable playing open but will switch to crossed and then back to open because she thinks it's fun. so I will have her practice the high hat side while hitting the high hat with her left hand (while playing open). Do you know any good exercises or good online tutorials for open handed players?

[@Lancewilson1000]

Hi, there. What you're asking for is clearly just self-preference. You can either hit the ride and crash at the same time (while you're rhythm-ing in either one), or not. It really depends on you. For recording, it still, as I said, all depends on you, and whichever way you're comfortable with. There's no rules in drumming. As long as it sounds good and you're having fun, go for it.
