Relax/Concentrate Problem

**adccnotbe** · 01-14-2010, 06:04 AM

Hi guys,

I play the drums for 3 years, but I still have a problem of relaxation. I don't talk about physical relaxation, but about mental relaxation. I play the drums and i allways find my self thinking of something else or daydreaming and I lose my concentration. I find it very difficult to relax and concentrate for more than 4-5 minutes and this affects my drumming. Any tips???

Get into the groove of the music more, once your really into it, you wont be able to think of anythin else but the song.

It could be many things but if all other considerations don't satisfy you, consider learning about ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) which deals with the lack of the ability to concentrate. It's very real and affects a lot of people in many ways.

from a ADD sufferer you might have it. if you daydream and lose concentration in other areas not just drums you could have it.
or you just might not be into whatever it is your playing
