Better Guitar Playing

Archive for July 1st, 2010

Estimates of the drum (kit ideas and suggestions please)?

So. I tried almost all other instruments and dedicated a long time for everyone. To put it simply, musically, it seems to have no talent for singing, guitar, piano, etc. but I've never tried battery, other than Rockband / Guitar Hero. I have the accumulation of a drummer, he seems to have quite the rhythm and coordination between the bass, drum roll and the drum more … things. So yes, I want to try it. thing is, I work minimum wage and curruntly have many other priorities, so I could spare £ 200 or so on that experience. The drums must be electronic as my neighbor are not too happy with noise, but apart that, I am open to the idea. I planned to make the ion drum kit for the 360 (as it would also benefit my Guitarhero / Rockband drum, but I have not been able to find much in the way of the pros and cons.) So, please, any suggestions? (Incidentally, I live in the United Kingdom, if it will not make any difference) Thanks:)

Too bad you're not in Cyprus (where I live) I saw a kit (electric), the other day in a store and it was half a discounted rate for one week, and it was so beautiful, as a regular kit (rubber, not orders) and 400 euros! Too bad I do not have that kind of money. My suggestion before you go out there and jump the conclusion that you want to play drums is to try first, if you still had trouble dealing with other instruments, then better play safe. electrical kits, I would not advise buying just a cheap. With a regular kit is good, because you can upgrade the heads and cymbals. But with electric, you need a kit everyone knew! But again, depends on how you are seriously considering taking this new hobby. My suggestion, I do not know if you have a place like this, but I suggest you go and do music lessons in school or what I did, my local music store gave lessons and I went for a few weeks early lessons and practice at home on my pillow and then bought a practice pad, and then finally rescued and received a kit and things went from there … Ask that the teacher thinks and if you really have what it takes. The drums are not so easy, beats seem easy but when you think about the feet and arms are each on quite different speeds at the same time! What I do to minimize the noise, I bought rubber stamps on the cover of the battery so that it stifles the cause of his "I hate when people can hear me. This is what it looks like http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/ products/4/7/8/491478.jpg and it is on the drum itself http://www.vintagedrumyard.co.uk/stock/PRACPADRUB.jpg Another thing I had a hard time , but I wish I had taken seriously, learn to count. I can not stress how important this is. I found the battery relatively easy to start and I was amazed how I could do the exercises, but then I realized that it becomes very complicated, and if you do not know how to count in your head when you play, you're screwed! not trying to dissuade you from playing the drums, but I think really it is a loss of just buying a kit and feel like you can not do and give him and watch the dust or regret buying some cheap thing. Either set up for it or try it first if you are sure it will be worthwhile. This would be a scenario quite different if you had more money and it was not a problem, although working at minimum wage is not the best time to experience in my opinion. This is a site, in books: http://www.idealo.co found. uk/cat/7292/electronic-drums.html another site with electric drums http://www.smarter.com/electronic-drums/pl–ch-33–ca-353.html eBay listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?

There are also other books in the same series of other instruments and the last piece that is taught is common to all the books you basically play a song together. FastTrack Drums by Blake Neely and Rick Mattingly hope some of it of any use!
