  • First things first, have fun! Play along with songs and just have a good time playing. That will help you to keep playing.

    Secondly, learn some basic stick rudiments like parradiddles and such. Start VERY slowly and be patient with the speed. You’re working on building up muscle memory.

    I also suggest using Drumeo for training lessons as well, if you spending money that is. They have all kinds of lessons available from beginners to advanced players. And the cost isn’t too much for what you get. Though I would suggest waiting for a sale price if you can.

    There are plenty of free lessons you can find on YouTube as well. They’re just usually not as organized as you would find on something like Drumeo. But there are some really great lessons to be found. Rob Brown is one I always suggest. He has good, clear lessons and provides a lot of great details. I specifically suggest his video on how to pay the kick pedal and how to pay doubles on the kick. That really helped me.

    Have fun, try to stick to a loose schedule, and keep playing! You’ll be surprised at how much you improve if you just stick with it!
