Learn how to play drums in 10 minutes with Sina

[@JimPeterikRocks]

Girl's Got Groove indeed! Sina, Jimbo here! I absolutely love your tutorial on basic drumming. You take the voodoo out of it and make drumming seem simple. This video is a must for the beginner or the pro. Why, even your mom and dad and sis can do it. Maybe I’ll try it someday soon! Great job Sina on "Dear Life" on my new "Tigress" album on Frontiers. Rock steady. Jim Peterik of the Ides of March - formerly of Survivor and of 38 Special fame.

Now I can do more than just beat something in time. I already have the rhythm now I have the basics of technique. You are so awesome!!! Thank you so much!

[@madbebopper]

You did the best job out of 100s of drummers of explaining the basics of the set and of the basic beats. It was really more educational and more clearly taught than anything or anyone I've seen yet. I think you have the makings of a really great teacher, besides playing great! Tremendous job, Sina and I think it's really terrific how you broke it down and took much of the mystery around playing beats. Bravo!!!

Hi Sina, durch Dich und Deine Videos hat mein Sohn (3 Jahre) grosses Interesse an Musik und Schlagzeug spielen erlangt. Mittlerweile hat er zu Weihnachten sein 2. Kinderschlagzeug bekommen. Und wir müssen jeden ! Tag üben, seit mittlerweile 4 Monaten. Und heute haben wir die Lektion dieses Videos durchgekaut. Naja, es klappt mal schlechter, mal besser. Ist ja klar mit 3 Jahren. Aber Hauptsache der Spaß stimmt.... LG und mach bitte weiter so

I have always been a bit of a frustrated drummer. I played a 50 pound concert base drum in a Drum and Bugle Corps in High School and a bit of college. I am always drumming. I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Since I found you on KZbin I have enjoyed the videos you share! Thank you from Massachusetts, USA!

[@chuckcampbell1946]

I'm 75 years old and have been keeping the beat with my hands since I was a kid. When I am listening to music and driving I use the string wheel as my kit...I have no idea what I am doing but I do feel the music...I loved this lesson...keep them coming...I have been watching your videos for a number of years and enjoy what you do... but passing your knowledge on to others would be a wonderful gift to all of us...THANK YOU...

[@bobknaier2665]

There is so much co-ordination involved it just amazes me! I will definitely never get into drumming at my age (79 yrs. old) but it gives me so much more understanding of what you go through to produce the fantastic sounds that you do! It's so amazing to see how you and your family all work so hard together to produce the amazing things that you do!!!

[@Chiroman527]

Hey Bob, I'm 70 yo. I started to take the plunge to play drums ( I knew I would be unable to play Guitar), in 1966. Took about 8 lessons or so, practiced a little each day on a pad, and then teamed up with HS buddies who were learning their instruments as well. After 3 years of plzying together after school in one of the guy's basements ( all the others including me lived in apartments), in 1969 [truly a GREAT YEAR], we moved on to Colleges, Military, etc. I always played Air Drums and always paid my atte tion to the drums in all songs. Then in 2018, nearing retirement, i told my wife of 44 years ( now 47 years),that I would like to Play Drums , probably at a local music studio , just to hit the Skins again. She went and got a Cheapo Gammon set for Xmas in 2018. At first, i was a little reluctant to get going. Then I did... Put them together, and started playing to My Music in the basement of our house, after 50 years. Lots of Rust, but that got shaken in a few sessions. So now, I play everyday for an hour or so, have a drink (bourbon, or glass of red wine, or a beer). I eventually upgraded my drum set (or kit as they call it now), anf gave the old one to my 4 year old grandson. Unfortunately, i am limited by spinal arthritic conditions and general all over chronic pain and stiffness in other joints, BUT the love of drumming perseveres. My Music consists CCR, Mellencamp, Petty, Stones, Beatles, Eagles, Cars, Talking Heads, Clapton, even Li da Ronstadt and Bonnie Rait. Be well.

You have a huge heart and continually explore influences from an era of music that so many young people today have never been exposed to. I have a daughter your age (not a musician, but rather biochemist). When she was 10 she discovered my 60’s/70’s vinyl collection and simply asked “why am I just now learning of this?”. Your talent is amazing. It’s clearly driven by passion, while also attributed to a desire to continually improve, not to mention an amazing supporting cast. Not the least of which are your parents, I’m sure. In its simplest element, music is the study and understanding of mathematics. Your explanations in this video, without overwhelming details, are excellent for the intended audience. Well done! Keep learning. Keep improving. Keep teaching.

[@geocarlisle]

What fun it is learning about these basic building blocks of drumming. Completely fascinating! The individual components appear deceptively simple, but the way you combine them takes raw talent, genius, and discipline, resulting in the artistry you continually display. We may not not reach superhero drummer status, but we can now appreciate a little more what you have perfected to become one yourself. It's an added pleasure to be introduced to your obviously close and supportive family, though we've been entertained before by your sister's deadpan, dryly humorous expressions. Yes, by all means, more drum school sessions would be enthusiastically welcomed!

Hi Markie I have always loved the drums. I started with a snare drum my mom bought me. Eventually I got a used set of drums & basically sat down & tried to play with songs. My mom couldn't afford drum lessons for me so I did it my way. Over the years I decided to buy an electronic set of drums by Roland. They are much smaller than an acoustic set but they sound just as good. My biggest regret was never taking lessons. But to me I just love doing my own thing. I find it relaxing & fun. By the way I am 70. Do what ever makes YOU happy. Good luck.

Fascinating - I'm far too old to start drumming (to my family's immense relief) - but seeing how you analyse music feels oddly familiar. (I'm an engineer - I look at a circuit diagram or a piece of code and need to know how it works...) You may find there are two audiences - people who want understand the theory, and then actual drummers (who need additional practical details - how to set up the kit to be comfortable for example, or how not to get injured or deafened). Great to see all your family. (And to Mum - your privacy is your business and no-one else's. Please carry on supporting Sina - and appear on screen if and when it feels right to you.)

A great tool for beginner drummers is something like the Yamaha DD-65 which has built in song libraries in about every genre. It also lets you have varying amounts of the drums playing along so you can play the basics and disable them completely when ready. Also great for practicing with headphones. It only took me about 1/2 song to get the timing/distance/feel when using an acoustic set.

Loved that you roped the rest of your family in - well done to them!. Having almost no sense of rhythm or coordination I'm slowly coming around to the idea that maybe I could do this. More please!

Best class ever!

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

Excellent lesson! Someday I'll get me a drum kit!

[@JackKirbyFan]

I really now appreciate how hard it is to learn drumming. It's all about timing and Sina does it with ease. I'm sure she spent a lot of hours practicing. Thank you Sina for sharing your talent.

[@snafu2350]

Indeed, precise timing is the keystone of any good musician; in groups it's essential for producing excellent productions! The much-derided drummer ['I just bang rocks together'] is the keystone to the whole band's performance: without that time beat the whole thing falls apart into a discordant cacophony, even in 'modern' jazz :(

[@JackKirbyFan]

@@snafu2350 I recently read about Peter Guest, who was the Beatles first drummer and learned he was let go because he couldn't keep time and the Beatles, when they hired Ringo noticed how much better they sounded with a professional drummer. You're right. Bad drummer, bad band. Touch break for Peter Best but a good choice for the Beatles.

Great instructional video simple and informative good to meet the whole family definitely show more videos and a note I had a friend who was a pit drummer in Vaudeville in the 1930s where the low boy was actually called the sock hat keep up the great work and as always cheers

[@russellbrooks3622]

Excellent instructional video. I'm not quite the drummer that you are, but when I've taught people the basics of playing drums over the years, this was pretty much how I taught it.

[@deanredfield9583]

So glad you did this!! You made it simple and easy to understand! Not only are you a super classy professional drummer…..you can add teaching to your vast talent. Glad you mentioned left handers!! I’m left handed but learned on right-handed kit. This day I drum right handed. Your teaching video was perfect. Instrumental teachers will love this tutorial!! You continue to impress me as a person and musician!!! …….” Look…even my sister, Dad, and Mom can do it”!! Excellent! I think your Dad can handle most instruments!!! Thanks!!

[@haneefmohamed7355]

I was supposed to send my kids for learning drums... This seems like the best of best I've seen yet in youtube

[@ridl_fitz]

interesting tutorial, as a non-musician I can't do that much with it, but it's great to see how a piece of music is created, or built up, how whole sequences are created from individual notes; was even easy for me to understand, excellent tutorial (and if I now understand correctly your dad is left-handed) ... 😉 Thank you very much ...

Didn't notice that, cool Guy either way.

Love your Sis, she always puts her whole heart in all your demos, your dad well, "too cool for school." your Mom, on the other hand, put her entire self into it. And if your Mom can, I know I can do too.

[@paulmarinucci5494]

Perfect lesson Sina! I've been following all your drum covers and you're the best. You help me to play drums better! Would love to see more of your teaching on drums! Thank you! Danke!! :-)

[@anttiaarnio9851]

I started to play drums just for my own fun, so I do not never offer my services as a drummer for anyone. So what's the point then being a drummer anyways? Reason is, that music has been a huge impact of my life. I could not survive without music in my life. I've survived with very unstable relationship, baby girl announces that we're gonna be parents year after since we met each other. Divorce, and dad passed away three years ago. And I'm under 30 years old. Without music, I'd be gone, no doubt. Music is my life and savior. That's why I play drums. Sina, you're doing great, keep it up!

[@rebel.D.29]

I really like your vids like this personally I wouldn't mess with the strike situation if you could get in big trouble. It's not worth it. I like your originals and collaborations and love the tutorials, I like listening to you speak and how you explain very simply. Much appreciated. Was kool seeing the family involved. Have a great weekend and take care.

[@MrLeoagudo]

Trillions of drummers in the planet! but only you take bit of your time to share the knowledge in basics druming! TY Sina

[@tjkadar]

Would love to see more videos like this one along with your covers and originals!

[@jimmybrooks1059]

Sina, great video and broke down to simple easy to understand. I taught myself to play doing the same system. I listened to Ringo, Ginger Baker, Charley Watts, Mitch Mitchell, and John Bonham while on a kit and tried to do what they did. Great video and great job 👍❤️⭐😁

[@pacalvotan3380]

Great lesson. You could easily make a series out of this.

[@tj-kv6vr]

why would she need a series, if you can learn in 10 minutes????

[@pacalvotan3380]

@@tj-kv6vr, mostly because you can learn one thing in 10 minutes, but there are typically 1000 things to learn to become an expert or a master 🙂.

[@karenrowe7483]

Absolutely the best basic drumming tutorial out there thank you

[@johnlockwood1639]

Thank you, Sina. Very inspiring. More please!! 👍

[@peter1533]

Thank you for this video tutorial. I’ve been consuming many, many videos on youtube on drumming being that I’m very interested in beginning. I came across this video and appreciated how you simplified the concepts of basic drumming beats and grooves. Thank you for that and I have now become a fan of yours after watching how you play the drums so brilliantly. Take care and best wishes for your future.
