Enjoy! https://the-non-glamorous-drummer.mykajabi.com/how-to-learn-drums-without-a-drumset You live in an apartment or a dorm, and you’re constrained to quiet practice. You don’t have a drum set yet, and maybe you feel like you can’t afford it or would at least rather wait a while to make the investment. Even if you could buy it, though, you wouldn’t be able to play it because it’s too loud! But you really want to learn the drums and get really good at the instrument! You want to learn everything you can so that you can play your favorite songs and maybe even play with a band. But you struggle to really get there when all you have is a pair of sticks and a practice pad. You fear losing that lifelong dream of becoming a drummer as time passes you by and you get older. You know that right now is your opportunity, and you have to get started drumset or no drumset. Guess what? You can learn a lot of fundamentals and basic coordination - and even get a really solid start on the drumset just with your sticks & pad. Here’s how you do it. This is what I did when I was in middle school before I bought my first kit, and this is what I have beginner students do all the time: * Learning rebound early on is the best way to dodge hurdles that a lot of drummers deal with down the road (which I’ll tell you more about in a moment). * You can use basic sticking patterns to increase coordination and actually help with playing grooves on a kit. * Finally, you can tap your feet on the floor and play “grooves” to work coordination and prepare for getting on the kit. But I’ll specifically show you two exact ways to tap your feet so you can already begin working kick drum technique without even having a pedal nearby! That’s pretty much it, and it’s simple! But now I want to physically show you how to work these things, so it’s time to get nitty gritty. There’s also one more final strategy I’ll show you that you can employ beyond these that will reap dividends with your long-term drumming growth. You can do this. Practice all of that, knowing that YOU CAN DO IT. You CAN overcome this challenge and learn drums without a drumset. You don’t have to give up on the dream. Get started the right way, and get started no matter your budget or living situation right now. Once you put in the work to learn these things, you’ll be able to jump onto a real kit when the time comes, and you’ll already be grooving. Mastering grip and rebound early on saves you so much frustration down the road, and you’re now well on your way to becoming the pro-sounding drummer you’ve always wanted to be. I believe that ANYONE can learn the drums, and I believe you’re far more capable of becoming a great drummer than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short!
