The Drumming Thread - *** Tap It or Beat It ***

[aarono2690]

I play bass but my friend has a drum kit in the basement. I've dinked around on the set, but outside of doing beginner rudiments and fills havn't done a whole lot on it. Is there some path I should follow to progress at it? I'm having a bit of fun and would like to be better at drumming.

Currently writing some technique outlines for marching snare, tenors, bass, and cymbals to get ready for teaching auditions next week.

If anybody wants to take a look before I ship them off, I'd love the feedback!

I would love to see them... and I will give whatever feedback I can.

So I just went ****ing HAM on cymbals.

Istanbul Mehmet Empire Flat Hole 14" High Hats, Paiste 2002 Series 20'' Jazz-Rock Heavy Ride, and Istanbul Agop ART20 Series 18" Crash to go along with my Paiste 302 Ride.

Got some sweet deals on eBay, can't wait until these things get here.

Came across this vid and thought it was cool. I always preferred Keith Moon to John Bonham, but there aren't too many Moon videos online. Here's a pretty good cover of Won't Get Fooled Again. A teacher and his student are performing it together. Moon definitely wasn't a conventional rock drummer, even though he wasn't the most technically proficient.

Awesome video. Keith Moon is great.

[gusmahler]

Otoh, perhaps I've been underrating John Bonham. This song requires a ridiculous amount of foot independence.



Foot cam version of the same song.

Comparing Bonham to Moon is like comparing apples to hookers. They are totally different. Their styles are nothing like each other imo.

I think they were both amazing! Any musician that plays drums and wants to learn rock should study both these drummers.

I love listening to both of them, although I do like Zep more than The Who.

Yeah, you're right. It's just that, growing up, my best friend was a huge Led Zep fan (and a drummer), while I was a huge Who fan. So we always ended up arguing Bonham vs. Moon.

FTW. My favorite ever:

Its funny how a discussion about drumming always comes back to Bonham.

He sure wasnt the only one who could play... but you cant have a conversation on this topic without including him.

Obv love Bonham

How amazing do you think Danny from TOOL is ? and would guess anyone wanting to learn drums should def look this guy up.

Started working up a few of the Jacques Delecluse "Douze Etudes pour casse-claire" pieces.

Anybody familiar with these? If so, which one(s) do you think would be best suited for an audition?
