Learn how to play the drums
1.) Get acquainted with the Set-up of the drum set- Learn the names and different parts so that watching videos and reading drum notes become easier for you. 2.) If your serious about this instrument, try to purchase a Beginner drum set , a Starter drum kit, or look into Used drum sets. Watch the video I made on "What to watch out for when buying a Used drum set."See what I consider to be the Best Drum Sets Get creative! All you need is a bit of enthusiasm, desire and something to hit!..........Otherwise, build one until you can afford one! I did! 3.) Pick up a pair of Drum sticks
4.) Be able to count to Four(4), and you will be able to start playing Beginner drum lessons! * If your a child see children's drum sets * Bring your passion to the drum set and you are all set!
Prevent injuries but learn to break a healthy sweat from drumming, that way you'd even be drumming for health! *Sitting: Sit at an almost 90 degree angle, feet on the pedals, back straight. *Right Hand with drum stick: Crossed over to your hi-hat stand. *Left Hand with drum stick: The tip is in the middle of your snare, a 1/2 inch up from the snare drum head. *Right Foot: On bass drum pedal *Left Foot: On Hi-hat stand pedal. 
* EAR- You just watch others, read books, listen to music, your primary learning method is by your ear. * READING DRUM NOTES: Through drum notes from a drum teaching book such as Fast Track Drums 1. You play your rhythms through learning how to read drum notes. * EAR/READING: This is the most effective! Reading notes and playing by ear!
* People who play only by drum notes= Machine style playing, a lot of times there's NO feel. They play the page and that's it. * Ear only= Less opportunity or a harder time to play for theater plays, school bands, military bands etc. *Ear+Notes+Feel= Greater opportunity and Great playing style!
