@nickadamsdrums: If you can count to 4, you can play drums: Learn drums in one minute This is a one minute beginner drum lesson where you’ll learn how to play your first drum beat. This is arguably the easiest beat to play on drums, and the first groove most people learn. You’ll start by counting to 4 and tapping along with your right hand (reverse all instructions if you’re left handed.) These are called 8th notes and you’ll be playing in a time signature called 4/4 (not important when you’re first learning). Once you’re confortable with that, stomp your right foot/play the bass drum on the numbers 1 and 3. Next you’ll play the snare drum on the numbers 2 and 4. Its best to practice these separately at first imo to get used to the feel of each, and to build muscle memory. Lastly you’re going to sandwich those different elements together and play everything at the same time. It may be challenging at first but it wont take long for your brain to override the urge to play everything on the same beat, and it should start to feel natural. Ive seen other lesson videos instructing you to play the bass drum on beat 1 and the snare on beat 3. While this will generally get you to the same place, it may lead to confusion if you learn to read music. Counting/playing that way is technically in half time. The method of counting in this video will ensure you’re on the correct path should you choose to persue music further. You DON’T need a drum set to learn drums. Tapping on the toos of your legs in a seated position will 100% work as will air drumming. Thats loterally how I taught myself to play drums many years ago. #drumlesson #howto #learnwithtiktok #musiclesson #drummer #drumming #howtoplaydrums #drumtok #drumtutorial #musiciansontiktok
