Re: Constructive Criticism Please
Hey Merita, Welcome to Drum Chat!!
I'd say for a year of playing and no lessons you're doing very well. I agree with Drummer on the hi hats. There are a couple of videos on You Tube about playing the hats, so maybe see if you can find them. One of the hardest things to learn is total 4 limb independence, and lots of people have trouble working their hi hat pedal, so it takes practice. But you look like you're doing it right with your hands (keeping in time as the hat is raised and lowered), you just need to work on not dropping it so fast.
Other than that, you're doing great, keep practicing and keep the passion for playing!
Oh and I saw the comment about getting ahead of yourself. That happens too, but with more practice and playing time, you'll start to develop an inner clock that helps you to count beats automatically and develop a feel for when a bridge or chorus is coming.
Hey, did you know you set your kit up backwards??
Sorry, but I had to.....I'm just not right in the head though.
