No matter how old your child is when they say they want to take drum lessons are beginners, there are two simple tests that will run before spending hundreds of dollars on a battery for the '. A test is for you. The other is that for all-to-be-drummer. If the child is not some 'natural rhythm of drum lessons are very frustrated and beginners can give the music all the time. In contrast, only have a little 'rhythmIt started with what could become a lifelong hobby - or even a career.

So let's see how you as a parent who has discussed on your first test, in the meantime, check out the baby. Step for you: Get in the car, turn on the radio, tune it to the local rock station, and turn down in its setting and turn the machine to vibrate. If you do not interfere, you can become a good parent drummer. If this bothers you there is another option, do not gocrazy and the sound is to buy a portable stand. If this is not an option, you must steer your child away from you beginner drum lessons or are you going to discuss if you practice, where practice and your nerves are on board.

If you pass a Step, Let's move on to Step Two: Please answer this question honestly. Do you have enough space at home to receive the battery, a guitar amplifier, bass amplifier and at least three people?

If you said yes toStep two, let's look at three steps. Would you be willing to have a band and practice at home each week? Would you be willing to band practice at home several times a week? If you have a child who is only 8 or 9 years you may not know this would be a big deal. But remember, if the child stays with the drum lessons, he or she will be a 14 year old, then 15 years and the band members are teenagers. Band practice is alwaysDrummer's House, because the battery is too heavy to carry. The only guitarist and bassist, their guitars, amps and maybe a couple of pedals. (This is why we covered the steps two and three.)

Did you go in three stages? Lets move forward, the last step, step four. Your house of those houses where all the children helps the lemonade in the refrigerator or snack in a closet or do you expect your friends to wait for children until they offered aRefreshments? This is not like baseball, where the moms take turns bringing snacks. The other band moms do not even know they help their children at home. But the child will probably say the other is OK.

If you are still on board, then you are the mom or dad perfect drummer.

Now let's see if Junior has a very basic rhythm needed to start with beginners drum lessons. The drums are the most difficult to learn. Unlike guitar or a keyboard orWind instruments, percussion require the ability to do something else simultaneously, with each hand and each foot. This is what causes beginner drum lessons to be incredibly frustrating for some children.

Remember when we were kids and we tried to rub his head with one hand and pat your stomach with each other? Then they will test your child, drum lessons for beginners are worth a visit. Let your child sitting on a chair with your feet on the ground and rubbing his headthe left hand and pat his belly with his right hand. Meanwhile, counting aloud, "1 -2 -3 - 4, 1 -2 -3 - 4" at different times and ask them to touch the left foot on the odd and even numbers on the right foot. Slightly asking them to tap their feet to the left of the bar -. "3-4" "1 2" and the right time, while continuing to tap their feet, they change hands, so that the left hand stroked her stomach and her right hand rubbed her head, without missing a shot. Finally backBack to move the foot of the odd numbers on the left and right, tap tap even numbers and modify hand movements, so that the left hand is now rubbing her stomach and her right hand is now stroking his head.

How do they have? If this was very difficult to forget beginner drum lessons and beat them playing a bass or keyboards. When he laughed shop how easy it was to go directly to the music and get a starter kit of drums and sign up for the beginner drumLessons.

Getting that 'English' Drum

This question seems to appear and I'm sure you already answered many times. However, I thought I'd share some of my personal experiences with all of you indie musicians out there in the recording studio at home, and maybe "be inspired to think" outside of the drum cage.

When I work in the music industry, I had the opportunity to work with Elton John during the recording of "Rock of the Westies" album. At this time, Roger Pope was his drummer. ButSince the signing of Sound was founded by producer Gus Dudgeon and drummer Nigel Olsson Elton earlier, were still sound in English. I will not discuss how he drums are here to vote, but of course, is that the part played in the last recorded sound. What I did know when the use of "Ambulance" was microphones. My guess is that you have never heard of a microphone ambulance. Well, I did not end until the coach explained.

The producer actually described it asEnvironment microphones. The ambulance was the word engineer personal joke. He called because he was said to be "there to" save the sound of the drum. It was an American engineer, was the inclusion of a much more controlled and sound from the drum with baffles and close miking techniques used tight. But Roger the battery on it was very "relaxed" and in addition to close mics on the drum overhead microphones were put in place the entire record amountStereo. Enter the "ambulance" microphones. These are two microphones at the top, the ceiling and about 25 meters from the battery. So they came to the ambient noise of the room.

When the mixing time were recorded their tracks at a low level that could improve the battery only with a great sound "room", but not by "presence" is required to be related distracted. I remember another group that the sound was a "big" drum so that they are more specifically the battery down (the study wasthe second floor), in the open kitchen with wood floors. He just had to rely on headphones to hear the other musicians, but in any case, that sound "wider".

With a limited budget, a lot of home recording studios are probably not a lot of microphones. In this situation, you should consider doing more overdubs - record instruments separately, sequentially. That would free the microphones in order to have more for the battery. Or maybe you could rent or borrowMicrophones from a local retailer or professional office. You could certainly try using only two microphones overhead on drums.

Finally, you will receive at home in your basement or garage, and see if that "big" drum sound, I hope this will spark your imagination and give you some of your ideas. However, if you live with your wife or mother, I would not recommend the use of the kitchen to record drums.
