I want to learn drums

[Amisuary]

Hi there. I'm 14 yrs old and I want to learn drums but I don't know where to learn. I need some place that's cheap. My brother learnt drumming at Yamaha but he still sucks. Is there any other place? :wink:
I only want to master the basics then after that I'll try to learn on my own.

You can also check out Music Clef at Suntec or Toa Payoh. I heard the teachers there are pretty good and the rates reasonable.

Thanks for the info =) but my dad made me enroll at Yamaha. I take back what I said about my brother lol. Hes a good drummer, my drumkit sucks thats why he sounded terrible. I sticked some cloths under the skins and now it sounded better.

 

[hi]

i think the private half an hour lessons are better....

i think u can self-learn at home. i learnt at home but i didn't have a drumset. u can listen to the songs u wanna learn & u imagine there's a drumset in front of u. & u just play like you have the drumset loh, like u know the hi-hat use right hand snare use left hand and so on. then by practising u will get better.

haha. i guess that's what most drummers do on the long bus ride.

well you cant get too good doing that. i agree listening to songs and visualizing the beats is essential. just listening and absorbing an artiste in action is probably the best. but a proper drumset and proper practicing with exercises is also fundamental.

 

[caijunlong]

ya, true in a way. Alternatively, buy a practice pad.

 

[joshie]

one more thing. if you wanna go far in drums a teacher is very important. probably the most crucial one in your learning development. so get a good one. self learning can only take you to a certain level and at a slower pace.

Yeah...Music Clef reminds me of Jimmy Lee, a wonderful Fusion Drummer, but he does not teach Basic drummings. :lol:
