new drummer advice
Hey, newdrummer! Welcome aboard!
HB58 has given you quite a few good tips to start with...
The rudiments are basic patterns (rolls, paradiddles, flams, ruffs, etc.) that are used in all types of drumming. Think of them as building blocks. You start simply and, as you master them, you learn the more complicated riffs.
Once you recognize them in the songs you're playing, as drummer suggested, you'll pick them up even faster and easier...
and definitely practice! That's how you start and...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
