slashrocks Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 hit stuff hard and loud, make sure theres some kind of pattern, and it should fit works for me....really though, start with technique, you'll be able to get some crazy shit down with rolls and such. Also, don't stick with rock/metal, check out some jazz, blues, R&B (old R&B the good stuff), latin, everything it'll give you much more variety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As drums was my first instrument really (besides singing) I practiced just keeping a beat. it worked out really well...then just coordination. I started when I was 4 btw so I do have some experience. But yeah listen to matt_barker as he still plays :krider: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
