The drum kit is the heart of the band. She and the bass set the rhythm for all the performers. But in the philistine environment there is such an opinion that this is a very simple instrument and is played by those who cannot play the guitar or synthesizer. But drums are a musical instrument, and they "play" on it, not "knock" and "hammer"!
It is necessary

- -a wish;
- - sticks for classes;
- - a piece of plywood.
Instructions
Step 1
Today, the technique of playing percussion instruments has reached unprecedented heights, there are many drum styles, drum kits have changed, and drummers demonstrate the wonders of this instrument.
Step 2
First, master the positioning of arms and legs, landing after installation. To do this, contact an experienced teacher and take the first few lessons. Playing drums requires a lot of coordination. After all, one hand performs the ride-part on the cymbal, the other hand performs a rhythmic pattern on the snare drum, on the bass drum, the third part is already performed with the foot, etc. The musician has to simultaneously perform up to six functions.
Step 3
To get started, master the basic exercise for four-way coordination, when hands and feet strike out notes of different lengths. If you don't have a drum kit yet, for this exercise, take a regular chair, put it on the floor and play. The right leg of the chair is a cymbal, the left leg is a snare drum, and just stomp with your feet. Ready?
Step 4
Start playing quarters with your right foot. Continuing the rhythm with the right foot, play the eighth notes with the left in the same rhythm. This exercise is called two-way coordination.
Step 5
Another exercise: play the eighth triplets with your left stick, continue with your feet the exercise you have already mastered. This is how trilateral coordination is performed.
Step 6
The most difficult thing is when, without stopping the previous exercises, you turn on the right stick and beat the sixteenths with it. This is already four-way coordination. Gradually complicate these exercises. To do this, you will have to develop good coordination of both hands, whether you are right-handed or left-handed. But when training the "weak" arm, do not forget about the "weak" leg.
Step 7
Pick up simple drum kit exercises and start training until you can play them easily. Exercise at a steady pace. After mastering, come up with your own variations and continue training.
