Practice drums LESS to learn MORE
Learning drums can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be.
I want to show you an experiment where practising drums less, can help you learn more, and fast. Keeping you consistently inspired to learn more and more each day.
It seems too good to be true, but I swear by it. Try it out for yourself and let me know how you get on. Since I learned this concept, my drum practice and learning process has been so much more inspiring and exciting, and I'm happy to share it with you too.

Learn Drums WITHOUT a Drum Set! (3 Levels for Beginners)
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed měsícem
The most crucial part of becoming a great drummer is just getting started. I want to show you that you don't need a drum set, to learn drums with these three levels of drumming. You don't even need a set of sticks to begin your drumming journey. Get started today and start developing your skills. Over the past year, I challenged myself to learn some of my favourite songs on drums, without a dru...

The PERFECT earphones for DRUMMERS!

After 10 years, I review what I think are the perfect earphones for drummers of all experience levels. In this video I compare the EarDrums by Drumeo to the SHURE SE215 noise isolating earphones from a drummers point of view. Who am I? I'm Jack and after 22 years of playing guitar, I decided to switch to drums. Something I've always wanted to do. We are never too old to learn, and my plan is to...
The QUIETEST bass drum practice pad? Drumeo Quietkick
zhlédnutí 479Před 4 měsíci
In this video, I review and test the Drumeo QuietKick, which I love and have used every day for the past 8 months. It’s Drumeo’s answer to the bass drum practice pad - a must have for any drummer that uses pads to practice, wants to practice quietly, or doesn’t own a drum kit. Why not practice your songs or rudiments with your feet too. Don’t miss leg day ;) Who am I? I’m Jack and after 22 year...

    I'm about 6 months into my journey and I have to admit I'm a bit envious of your progress! I feel like I should be further on than I am and I think the main reason is I've always neglected practising the rudiments in favour of learning songs that are slightly beyond my current ability. Do you have any recommendations for good videos for practising the rudiments?

      @jackoliverdrums Před 3 dny

      So cool to hear you have started your drumming journey! Everybody progresses at different rates, I’m 33 and have been in bands (as a guitarist) for most of my life - so I think watching and learning other drummers was super helpful. Rudiments are a great way to improve your technique, I would highly suggest using a metronome and learning at least double stroke and single stroke roll exercises. But what you are doing with learning songs is great too! Just keep going and enjoying it :) Take a look at @AlejandroSifuentes videos he has a lot of rudiment practice routines and they are aimed at beginners too. But even just practicing to a metronome at 60bpm to start with, then get faster will work. Let me know how you get on dude

    Very impressive for a year. Keep going and start to incorporate independence exercises (like playing a ride groove while keeping time using your left foot on the hi hat). Stay consistent and you’re gonna be great

    Amazing dedication and progress for a year! Are you self-taught from scratch? Did you find songs to play that maybe you wouldn't ordinarily listen to but matched your skill level, or did you just learn to play songs that you like? I had my first ever drum lesson today, I've got a long way to go! :)

      So glad to hear you are starting your drumming journey too. Best of luck and fun with it all! I am self taught but I now have a teacher in my second year. I love punk rock music, so naturally most of the songs were above my skill level so I tried to find the slowest and easiest songs on the albums. It really helped watching drum covers on YT and slowing them down to 0.75%

    Bullshit. Du hast 0 rebound auf einem kissen und speed und technik baut sich nur mit rebound auf.

      Hey Emil. I used CZcams for the first year (watching drum covers at 50% playback speed). But now I have a teacher and have a @DrumeoOfficial Subscription as well. I would highly recommend Drumeo, but there are loads of free lessons on YT to start with. Are you a drummer?

      That’s so great! Glad you are enjoying it. Drumeo lessons are great if you have a drum kit or even just a practice pad. But the ‘rockshool’ grade 1 drum book is good to start learning notation as well!

    Wow, Really cool! My favorite thing by far was seeing you loosen up your grip👊 Good progress, and here what I would recommend you: In some videos your elbows tend to stick outwards, which may feel natural, but not really good. So, just a reminder to make sure they’re not sticking out. Other than that, there’s not much I can say, you’re doing excellent! Learn some fills, rudiments, songs and just expand your «vocabulary».) Oh, and also I noticed a big change from the first videos where you moved your whole arm just to hit the drum to now having more of the wrist in the game. That’s really important too and I’m glad you got it! You can try implementing more fingers too. For me, it’s like second nature - I use a lot of wave type of arm/wrist movements (look up Moeller technique) combined with a lot of fingers. I also found for myself a more comfortable grip - middle finger fulcrum. There are a lot of drummers using this thing and I just wanted to try and now I’m stuck with it. So, congrats on your milestone of one year, you’re doing good! Have a great one🤜🤛
