-

Drumming is an exciting and thrilling experience. Whether you are just starting or have been playing for years, the journey to becoming a better drummer is an ongoing process. So, how did you become better on the drum? Here are some tips and insights that has helped me so far.

 

1.     Practice Makes Perfect: The most important step in becoming a better drummer is to practice consistently. Set aside time each day or week to practice your drumming skills. Consistency is key, as the more you practice, the better you will become. Try different techniques and styles, and push yourself out of your comfort zone to learn new things.

2.     Listen and Learn from Others As a drummer: it's important to listen to and learn from other drummers. Watch drumming videos online, attend live performances, and connect with other drummers in your community. Learn from their techniques and styles and apply them to your own drumming.

3.     Experiment with Different Drumming Styles: Drumming is not limited to one style or genre. Experiment with different styles, from rock to jazz, to expand your musical knowledge and improve your drumming skills. Each style offers different challenges and techniques, which can help you become a well-rounded and versatile drummer.

4.     Find a Drumming Community: Joining a drumming community can provide you with opportunities to learn from other drummers and improve your skills. Attend drumming workshops, join a drumming group or band, or participate in drumming events in your area. These communities can provide a supportive environment for you to grow and develop your drumming skills.

 

In conclusion, becoming a better drummer requires dedication, practice, and an openness to learning and trying new things.

I have read a lot of articles on getting Gigs and how "networking" should be the number one medium at which you get yourself the Gigs you want. Meeting new people, working with the big guys in the music industry, doing free stuff to get the attention and trust of this guys, playing free gigs and trying as much as possible to create different connections are some of the networking moves needed to get the Gigs. And as you all know there are two ways to market a product : (1) word of mouth (2) social media/online marketing. Same applies here in getting a Gig as a drummer.

But None of my band mates was there to give me an high-five and tell me how good I am and also lie to my face on how I am the greatest drummer on earth but instead I sat there closed my eyes and I began to imagine things. And as you all know imagination is envisioning things that do not exist. So let's just imagine you ...
