and negative people are a drag to be around, so do yourself a favor and work hard to keep these traits out of your playing. And run like hell from musicians who exhibit them in theirs. You are not responsible for other people’s problems and you can’t fix them. By being the very first rat off the sinking ship you can protect your love of the art and keep yourself open to the new possibilities that will come your way every day. Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Now, you go do the math.
Confidence :
is
what is the absolute that makes you a better drummer or a great drummer When you have confidence in your ability to play your instrument, success for the band is more likely to occur.
People:
who are not musically inclined just want to be moved by the music. They do not evaluate it like musicians do. if the bassist seriously flubs something up, then that's a different story Not being creative and not adding to the music is one thing, but making critical mistakes is another Musician, or not, people know what is, or not, pleasing to the
ear.
If
you stick to One style only , then how the !@#% is the
world is your Music ever going to evolve?
Why Are Drum
Rudiments Important?
Practicing your
drum rudiments as a drummer is a lot like going to the gym as a professional
athlete. The same is for a drummer we must train our muscles to hit harder more accurate and faster. This is where rudiments come into play. They
force us to do nothing else but practice stick movement. A lot of times drummers
will get side tracked on a drum kit and lose out on valuable practice time.
Go through the basic exercises will drastically improve your skills on the
drum set allowing you to roll a lot faster and giving you more options on the
drum set.
In 2003
Don had torn both sides of his shoulder tendons
torn through daily constant martial arts training / gym / touring /and In-sufficient rest and was
told that if he were not to recover within a two year period he would surely
never be able to play the drums ever again.. Thus this became the worst two
years of my life, Depression Insomnia and nothing but pain running through my body
24/7, I needed to Rest and Recuperate under the special care from one
of the Best
Chiropractors in Asia.-
Dr: Lu Chak Keung
ACKNOWLEDGE:
There seems to be a
ridiculous rumor circulating that a
Mr. Fred Carpio whom also is a Drum
teacher residing at Musicland Studios that he is my teacher?
This is considered an Insult to God who is truly my
teacher! Please
Stop your B.S. or I'll see you in Court!
很多人問我在
Musicland Studio
教鼓的
Fred Carpio 是否我的老師?不知道為甚麽會有這個不知所謂的謠傳???
我沒有跟任何人學過打鼓,我相信這是神賜給我的吧!所以神就是我的老師 , 不要再無中生有!!
Rudiments
are one of the most
important building blocks of modern drumming. applying the rudiments on your drum kit will enable whole new levels of creativity. Virtually every rudiment can be applied in dozens of unique ways around even the smallest of drum sets. To
say that they are useless is to imply the drum set is obsolete!
Quality
:
it's not how fast
you can play your notes but more of how great in detail the
notes are which makes the essence of quality, otherwise
you're going to regret it at a later stage and have to start
cleaning those notes from scratch. if you're not enjoying it?
then you're doing it totally wrong.
What not to
do!
If you are on stage to
prove how great you are, the
music suffers because
you’re too busy showing
off to lay down the foundation that makes
the song flow. I’ve seen drummers play so inappropriately
that the horn players will turn
around and glare at them
on stage.
They usually don’t notice they’re too wrapped up
in how amazing they are
until they get fired.
The music is not all about
you, but you should be all
about the music. That way you’re respecting it and those who play it with you.
