Be a better Drummer
1. Practice! If you don't practice then you'll never be good. It takes a lot of hard work. 2. Drum Lessons - Many drummers will tell you that they are self-taught. This leads some drummers to think that lessons are not necessary and they'll often avoid it altogether. We're here to tell you that, without a firm foundation, you could pick up some real bad habits that may take you years to "unlearn". Find a reputable, qualified teacher and study the foundation of drumming before you do anything else. Make sure you know how to read music and that you know the different styles of drumming. 3. How good is your gear? - You are only as good as the instrument you play on. As you progress, consider improving the quality of your drums. Buy quality wood like Maple or Birch. It's expensive but you "will" notice the difference. Make sure you have new heads on your drumset and have everything tuned properly. A good sounding instrument will make a world of difference in your overall sound. 4. Market yourself - There is an old saying; "Out of Sight, Out of Mind". It is one of the truest things ever written for you can be one of the best but if no one sees you play, you can't possibly get hired. Learn marketing techniques and get out in front. Make sure everyone in town knows who you are. Sit in on jam sessions and hand out business cards. Leave no stone unturned. 5. No Pain, No Gain - One thing weightlifters understand is that progress in building a muscle really starts when you push past that point where you want to quit. The same goes for drumming too. If you'll really dedicate yourself and practice diligently, you will see a remarkable difference in your playing. Go the extra mile and don't settle for mediocrity. 6. Practice overall Professionalism - Warm up before every gig, play for the music (not for yourself), be on time, and act professionally. Your reputation will determine how much you work. If you don't take yourself seriously, other musicians won't take you seriously.
