  • Have you always wanted to learn how to play drums? If your excuses have included “I don’t have time” or “I don’t have a drum set at home,” you’re in luck: this 10-minute video lesson will get you started quicker than you can say “Ringo.”
    We’re starting from the beginning. No theory. No technique. By the end of this video, you’ll be able to play a simple beat and drum fill.
    Why play drums? Whether you’re doing it for fun, for the health benefits, to pick up a new hobby, or to become a rock star, the instrument is a great outlet for all of these things.
    00:44 - Getting Started - Grip
    If you have drumsticks, hold them with a nice relaxed grip. This is the most important thing to know for now. Keep your hands loose!
    1:22 - Playing Your First Beat
    This is where the fun begins! Using your kick, hi-hat and snare, Jared teaches how to count, feel and play your first beat.
    6:05 - Playing Your First Fill
    Drum fills are used to build anticipation or release tension. Listen for them in your favourite tunes, such as snare rolls in AC/DC songs or that big tom fill in “Wipe Out.”
    Congratulations - you just learned your first rock beat and your first fill! This is just the beginning; when it comes to beats and fills, the sky’s the limit. At this rate, you’ll be playing all your favourite tunes and jamming in no time.

    Jared, Thank You for offering this free lesson online, at 59 I have now taken my first drum lesson. I've wanted to play the drums since I was five years old. After watch "Little Drummer Boy" I begged my mother for a set of drums, but we lived in a three family dwelling and that was not an option! For years I played the Air Drums, and as the years passed and other priorities set in, the desire to learn the drums fell by the wayside. Unfortunately, this past March I lost my beloved mother, and since then, for some weird reason, I've felt the urge to learn the drums, guess mom gave me the ok from the other side :). So I bought a pad and a set of sticks and here we go!
    All My Best
    Mike

      I love your comment !!!!
      I am sorry to hear about your moms passing!
      I hope you’re still playing and having fun ! My dad was a drummer playing around Pittsburgh Jazz bands , trios, still
      has his drums set up. , I’m 55 and always wanted to play the drums . However , my dad dream wanted a baby grand in his home wished for his daughter to play the piano ! I tried and didn’t care for it , Being a daughter of a musician , I appreciated all music and instruments and after the first time I saw Sheila E perform I was blown away I was blown away by this brilliant talented female drummer … Still to this day when watching it discussing music , a band or musician I will say jokingly but truthfully if only I took drumming lessons… , he laughs says or stuck with piano like Alicia Keys ! This video taught me enough that I just sat down and played my dads drums and he came in and I impressed the hell out of him and this video is the first and only one I have watched! Highly recommend ! Thank you Jared ! And Mike for your great story!

    I've been playing drums for 2 decades, recorded at least a dozen albums and I do session work often. My tips? Practice these basics every week. Have focused practice, where you do just one thing for longer than you think you need. Don't feel overwhelmed when you see incredible drummers performing. They all sucked at one point.
    Jared's vids are the best. He is calm, a great teacher and his methods work.

      @ISAI DRUMM3R All I'm saying is that Buddy Rich and John Bonham are amazing drummers and if they were to play to an ACDC track they would probably feel out the music. What made them both great drummers wasn't just their chops, but their taste and them having a good feel for the music. This mostly applies to John Bonham because Buddy Rich was a jazz drummer and I've never seen him play anything but it.

    Nice relaxed grip. I play left handed and tend to relax my left hand enough to send the stick flying 😆

    • @DrumeoOfficial
      @DrumeoOfficial  Před 4 lety +17

      Thank you. :) Grip is very important. Make sure you spend time away from the full kit to focus only on your hands. Set up a pad with your phone to record yourself or sit in front of a mirror so you can see your hands. That way you can pick out any bad habits you might have developed along the way.

      Any luck yet? He has a previous tutorial before this and I’m not sure if you’ve seen it. I’m a beginner in drums too and I was having a hard time at first but after a few minutes I got it. Idk why but on the slower tempo, I make a lot of mistake but on faster tempo i don’t make as much mistake. Also, if I think about where to hit next, I make more mistake so I tend to clear my mind or look somewhere else and I don’t make as much mistake. I hope you don’t give up and keep trying! 🥺🤞🏼

    • @2string861
      @2string861 Před 3 lety +5

      I used to have the same problem but air drumming helped me, before I got my kit last week I'd just air drum simple beats to build coordination. Just a few months ago I thought I'd literally never be able to play drums because of my terrible coordination but now I can hold a steady beat and add my own fills without messing up too bad.
      Most important thing is take it sloooooow, and make sure to get everything right, last thing you wanna do is get the wrong stuff ingrained into your muscle memory (that's what really fcked me up when I first started). You got this bro 💪
      Oh and also remember to learn some music theory, especially rhythm. It'll make it sooo much easier just knowing how music goes together. And don't forget metronome practice

I keep looking at it thinking I’ll learn. So now with this, my first drum lesson, I begin. I’m 80 tomorrow and play the piano, clarinet and I used to sing. Next, I’ll be drum competent. Really good work out for the brain. Thanks!

I'll probably keep teaching myself, but I would send this video to them as well afterwards. Good stuff Jared.

I was the lead and played cello but my friends weren’t really skilled at their instruments so i had to sometimes step in and kinda teach them their part. The drums in our band was struggling with the beat and it got so stuck in my head that I started playing that beat with my hands, pencils and whatever I could find. I’m not a drummer and I don’t even have a drum set but i love them so much and would definitely take professional lessons in the future rather than try to teach myself which I’ve been tryinn to do
