Drums are so much fun to play, even if they don't get a ton of love. One of my uncles was a drummer in a band when he was younger, and he showed me a few basics during a family reunion this year, I love playing the drums.

What do you want to know? You have given 2 very opposite extremes of music genres. Which one interests you more? VM sent with the same response.

That lil wayne beat is really easy other than the high hat part which is nearly impossible for a mortal drummer to play

which i had my drums mic'd up and my webcam was working because i would break it down for you

i do not call myself a drummer by any stretch, but i can play the drums
i am not good. they are not my first instrument

they're a hard instrument to have and own
they take a ton of space
they are LOUD

unless you have a digital set and some headphones you can expect to be providing music for your entire apartment or immediate neighborhood



i'd say that basic drumming is the easiest rock and roll instrument to learn, but like any of the others it takes a lifetime and some talent to master


work on your basic stuff in 4/4 (that's what most songs are in)
work on your fills and try to keep them simple and in time

you want proficiency with your snare, bass drum, and high hat for starters
the rest will come with practice



john bonham (the zeppelin drummer,) is one of the greatest rock and roll drummers of all time. good luck sounding like him.
in that regard you have good taste.

i refuse to listen to anything "lil wayne," but i'll add that most hip hop drumming is very basic and you shouldnt have huge issues replicating it

Good Times, Bad Times
Immigrant Song
Achilles Last Stand

Godly. I honestly listen to those songs mainly for the drumming.

Key to learning any instrument well is to slow it down and always play with a metronome.

What's some good drum beats?
