How do I get better at drums?
I think this is the question we kept asking ourselves and Fredrik Olsson made a good summary of the what you need to do to get better!
1) Practice!!!
The act of glueing your butt to the throne and working on your groove and chops! Not some chops that make you feel better about yourself but something that you know you fall short off. Working on what you can't do is important. If keep learning a thing or two everyday, in a few years time you will look back and notice how far you've come.
The following video is a method of practicing drums, 45mins a day. (*Note the difference between 'playing' drums and 'practicing' drums.)
2) Perseverance!
Don't give up!
I wonder if you had watched this video by Mike Johnston.We are all human and sometimes we can't help but compare ourselves with people who are better and feel inferior but remember this, everyone starts off at sucking really bad at something.
Like Jake in Adventure Time says - "'Sucking at something is the first step towards being sorta good at something."
Here in the video Mike Jonston mentioned that we are better at drums or worse at drums than another drummer, we are just earlier or later down a drumming timeline.
Don't give up. Once you decided to quit, that is the end of getting better, no doubts about it.
