Some beginner's questions

[unwell14]

Saw another forum but didnt want to post this there 'cos i thought it was wrong, so just ask here lah.

&I shall organize it hahaha ><

1. You can learn how to JAM?! (I had no idea) Now I'm learning all the basic beats at motivate, its fun but i want to do more!

2. Any books/dvds that I can buy? And how much are they ah?

3. How to improve left hand? (Mine sucks when i'm trying to doubles.)

4. Metronome! (preferbly electronic one) I NEED to get one, but I havent found the time to go down. So uh, if you have one that you don't want can i buy it from you? Or how much is one if i just buy from some music store (so I know how much to bring when I go down)?

Okay. I must really sound stupid ><

1) As you learn more and increase your drumming vocabulary, you can learn to jam in any style you want... it's not exactly 'learnt', more like 'acquired'... if you get what i mean.

2)As far as books go... I actually think the Yamaha drum syllabus is pretty good for basics.

3)... practice? Practice the hell out of your left hand? Nothing more I can say...

4)Sweelee sells the tama rhythm watch for around 100 bucks. Costly but worth it. Or if you're REALLY poor, use www.metronomeonline.com

Hope that helped.
