A quick introduction to learning drums

The quick entry methods for learning drums are as follows:

First, get familiar with the drum stick:

The first step for beginners to learn drums is to find the feeling of the drum stick and know the correct posture for holding the drum stick. For beginners to hold the drum stick, it is generally recommended to fasten the thumb and forefinger at one third of the drum stick, and the other three fingers hold the drum stick conveniently, mainly with the thumb and forefinger pushing hard, the back of the hand facing up, from the forearm to the elbow, from the elbow to the shoulder, and even the upper body, so as not to stretch too tightly, and try to keep a relaxed state.

Second, keep the correct sitting posture:

Wrong sitting posture such as hunching over the drum and covering the drum stool with the whole ass will cause problems such as being unable to master the rhythm and improve the playing speed.

3. Decoding notation:

The so-called notation refers to the method of recording music in written form with symbols, words, numbers or charts, and the recorded words and images are called music scores. There are many kinds of notation, such as notation, staff, text spectrum, subtraction spectrum and image spectrum, and staff is the most commonly used one. In the staff, from bottom to top, there are the first line, the first line, the second line, the second line, the third line, the third line, the fourth line, the fourth line and the fifth line.

Fourth, master the basic knowledge of music theory:

Music theory is the key to learning music. Only by understanding, mastering and skillfully using this key can we open the door of music and enter the hall of music more quickly. In the knowledge of music theory, the symbol indicating the length and height of a sound is called a note, which is the most important element in the staff.

5. Practice rhythm:

It is the rhythmical arrangement and combination of paragraphs that make up a complete piece of music, so we must pay attention to rhythmic practice. When practicing rhythm, you should follow the metronome, not fast but steady. The speed of the metronome is from slow to fast, so practice with the beat.

6. Practice slowly:

When practicing basic skills, speed is important, but it should be gradual. You should make sure that you can control the drum stick well every time you practice, and then slowly increase the speed, so as to achieve the desired effect.
