Beginners Drum Lessons
By Kevin | April 17, 2008
I’ve been playing drums since I was five years old - so drums are an instrument that I’ve played (and indeed taught) for many years. In Fact I’ve got a whole blog about drums at www.percussioneducationonline.com where I talk about drums and percussion and how they are used in schools.
Just today a package arrived from Railroad Media, including The Rock Drumming System by Jared Falk. I purchased this course so that I’d really be able to give you a good idea of the course and its content.
I’m really impressed by the detail that is included in this System, and I’ll review each of the books and DVDs one by one as I watch them and check out what the entire system has to offer beginners on the Drums.
In the beginner DVD Jared walks you through how to tune and set up your drum set to get great sounds. Even though I’ve been drumming for years this still showed me a few tips and tricks that I didn’t know about how to get great sounds from the toms.
In the Beginner DVD Jared’s also got a great way of explaining basic beats - he slows them down so that beginners aren’t confused about the notation.
The DVD screen is split into multiple parts, so that you can see the notation on the top, and mulitple camera angles underneath showing each beat being played.
The Workbook has also got all the beats and fills played on the Video written out in easy to read notation.
Even if you’ve never picked up a pair of sticks before you’ll find that you can quickly get playing drums using this system.
The best thing about a home learning course like this one is that you have the freedom to work with it at your own pace, and you can refer back to the DVD if you are unsure of what is offered with it.
