I got an electronic drum kit! It makes drum sounds when I hit it! I can plug My headphones into it and it doesn’t annoy the neighbours!

I played a simple beat on it and it was fun. I want to practice until I’m really good at it and I can invent great music.

Any drummers out there with newbie advice?

    I think I already use My wrist and fingers to hit drums. My elbows don’t move at all when I repeatedly play the same drum. Dunno if My grip is any good, I just followed the advice to hold the sticks in a loose grip.

    Yesterday while practicing I realised I can get a crisp single hit if I let the stick bounce and don’t hold it too loose or too tight. But if I want the hit to gain some texture, I can keep pushing the stick down after the first hit. It’ll bounce on the pad a couple times before it stops.
