Walang "DRUM KIT" thread *merged*

[kimpoy19]

Ever since na natutuo ako magdrums eh wala pa akong kit. haha.

May mga routines akong ginagawa:
1. Listen to different type of music (In this way, mas nakakapag focus ako sa music na pinapakinggan ko.)
2. Practice pad lang ang katapat. hehe. Habang nagbabantay ako ng tindahan namen eh puro practice lang ako ng rudiments.
3. Weekend practice sa church. This time, naaapply ko na yung mga ginawa ko nung weekdays.
4. Watch Instructional videos and drum covers. Feeds my appetite.

i remember nung wala pa kong sariling kit noon, nagsimula ako sa drums made of oil containers...ubra na sa tunog, nakaka peke na din sa ibang tao pag nadidinig nila. fortunately my drums na ko ngayon pero i remember the days na ganun ako nagsimula.

[Mark J]

Ako wala rin akong kit. 3 Beses lang ako nakagamit ng kit parang jam-jam lang. Hindi ako magaling, parang basics lang. What I do, i imagine myself na may drum kit ako. Hahaha. Minsan akala na ng mga tao baliw na ako e. Sige lang, I enjoy it. Passion ang pagiging isang musikero. Waiting for or before December, maka bili ng drum kit na around 9K - 11K. Practice lang, atleast may libangan. Diba?

[karl666]

My brother's friend used to practice with his "timba" drumset. Yung cymbals niya eh walis tingting. Nakikita ko sya dati pag nagpapraktis sa bahay nila nung bata pa ako. Tapos ngayon, ang galing na niya magdrums. 

[harugrugrug]

Chair ang tinitira ko Nung wala Pako drums,at unan din.

[LUDWIG_LOUISE]

[Ralph_Petrucci]

sir anong klaseng stapler yan.. interesting ah.


nung highschool ako nagpagawa ako sa kuya ko ng gallon drums. yung malaking container ang bass drum tapos Caltex ata na lalagyan ng langis snare at tom. yung snare nilagyan lang ng tansan sa ilalim. Hihats ko ay linso na ginupit gupit para maging tsit tsit ang tunog, wala nga lang open hats.. tapos ang cymbals, nakabili kame ng isang pirasong hihat sa mga nagdadrum and lyre na elementary, sira na kasi yung kaparis.. as for the pedal DIY din, gawa sa kahoy ang galing nga eh replica sya ng tunay na pedal. sayang di ko Makita yung picture post ko sana..

ngayon wala rin ako kit pinapalo ko yung ibabaw ng enfagrow ng anak ko. mabilis lang masira, pero madami kasi eh., maganda rebound nya hehe.

try ko hanapin pic tapos post ko.

[theredd]

kuha ka ng lumang tsinelas sir, ipako mo sa isang kahoy tapos un ang gawin mong practice pad. 

ganun din kasi ung ginawa ko dati eh until sa bumili na ako ng practice pad tlga sa mga music stores, they really help out sa pag practice ng rudiments. hope that helps 

[musicianurse28]

Practice pad pa rin sir and a good quality pair of sticks. Treat it as an investment na lang kung gusto mo na talagang mag drums at hindi na mag gitara. Don't get me wrong, hindi naman sa high end gears vs. technique ito. Mas gaganahan ka lang talaga mag ensayo at gamitin if you have the right equipment. After all, nag invest ka na rin.

[oblivion_666]

thanks sa mga input nyo mga sir.    I found some basic rudiments on youtube.  like: R-right L-left eg: R1 L2 L3 R4 then L1 R2 R3 L4 repeat with same accent to build speed and accuracy  tapos put accent daw sa first note then same accent on note 2,3,4.. then after mastering the accent on the first note move to the 2nd note and so on.. will i benefit from practicing this? will this improve my playing when i get to play on real drums? thank you mga sirs 

[musicianurse28]

will i benefit from practicing this? will this improve my playing when i get to play on real drums? thank you mga sirs 

Sakto lang. But it would be much beneficial if you practice or study it with someone who's actually there for you. Not necessarily a drum teacher but at least a friend or someone you know who knows how to play drums. One disadvantage of learning on some videos "only" online is that nobody would tell you if you're doing it right or wrong. If the technique is good enough or still needs improvement. Yes you're capturing ideas but that's not enough. Nobody will correct you. Sometimes you'll feel like you're doing good but in reality you're not. I'm not pulling you down sir or anything, this is just an honest statement. You need someone who would help you and show you how to nail it properly. Remember sir, it's hard to change a bad habit once you get used to it. Good luck!

Natumbok ni sir!
It's also good to record yourself. Sound wise and video wise to see and hear you execution.

I have to agree with this. +sobrang daming +1

Eto yung problem ko eh. Self Studied drummer ako so hindi ko alam kung tama ba yung mga ginagawa ko.

[kevzkie024]

Pwede mo rin gamitin yung mouse pad as improvise drum pad. Double it para mas maganda yung bounce. Or raketa ng table tennis. Practice lang ng different strokes. And muscle memory. 

[im_dabi]

tuloy mo lang sir, nagsimula ako a pair of "pamanang sticks" lang gamit ko.
ginawa ko is nood youtube, mga basic beats muna , 4/4  for me is a good foundation.

tapos I started listening and watching nung mga videos nung mga live performances pero yung mga madadali muna. tapos sa bahay, wala din ako practice pad, pero I am using yung mga hard cover books. para pag pasok sa studio, application na.

tuloy lang sir, rock on

[kennedy]

Magshare lang ako sir,

Okay po yan start ka sa rudiments. Yung issue sa kung tama ba yung ginagawa, well, feeling ko makikita naman na sa youtube kung pano yung tama o hindi. 
Tsaka opinion ko lang, kung mejo awkward man tignan para sa iba pero effective sa iyo, wala naman sigurong problema dun?
Kumbaga sa basketball nga ang pangit ng tira ni Shawn Marion pero nakakashoot naman siya. Hehehe. 

Kung gusto mo pa ng ibang rudiments suggest ko lang sir check mo yung Vic Firth website meron sila dun lahat ata ng rudiments yun.
Tapos kung makahanap ka ng 30 days to better hands ni Johnny Rabb okay din yun
(may nadownloadan akong website dati di ko na lang maalala, tyaga-tyaga lang sa paghanap ).

[sonicassault]

Ako Phonebook na makapal. yung Yellow Pages. BAM! sticking practice!

THIS!! White pages (people listing), mas makapal!

Pwede rin mga hardbound tulad ng dictionary (Merriam Webster ang gamit ko dati, napudpod ko yung back cover), science book (Glencoe hardbound), at yung sandamakmak na readings from school. Actually balikbayan box o kaya yung magarbong kahon na bigay sayo ng jowa mo pwede rin.

Ayaw ko ng unan, masyado malambot. Stick ako sa kutson.

Tip lang, pag magppractice ka ng hi hats position sa flat surface tulad ng kutson, wag ka mag cross ng kamay, ang sakit nun sobra. kunwari hi hat na rin yung ride mo.

Pag may matigas na surface ka na maganda yung bounce (phone book, hardbound na libro), practice ka ng rudiments. Sabi nga sakin dati, when you can make a single drum sound like you're playing a whole kit, yun na. Try mo rin practice heel up para sa footwork. Sa mga kanta, para sakin ayos ang Silent Sanctuary kasi simple lang pero hindi boring.

Ganyan din ako nagpractice for YEARS bago ko nakuha yung drums ko last last year lang 

[Cyru]

Wala na din akong drum kit 4 years na, napilitan din akong ibenta dahil kailangang makaahon hehe. Mumurahin lang naman yun, pangpraktis ko sana as beginner. Nawalan din ng oras para tumugtog ng kahit anong instrumento sa loob ng ilang taon, pero nagiisip na magaral at magpraktis ulit. 

Kaso wala akong kilalang merong kit nang makahampas man lang itong noob skills ko!

basta passionate ka naman siguro at gusto mo ulit e enough na yun besides practice

[Cyru]

Oo nga po sana ngayon magawa ko na ng tama ito, madalas ako mawalan agad ng interes lalo na kapag pakiramdam ko walang progreso ang skills ko! 

At hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin alam kung ano ba talaga ang gusto ko, kung ipagpatuloy ko na lang ang gitara o ang drums. Pero hindi po ako gumagaling kahit saan diyan =))

Oo nga po hehe, nafufrustrate siguro ako dahil halos wala nang oras, hindi katulad dati nung teenager =))

[cs_mapper]

Dahil sa ibang hobby nabenta ko drums ko. Minsan namimiss ko tlga sila at parang tinik sa dibdib ang pakiramdam kung bakit ko nagawa yun eh sila best friend ko for more than a decade. Buti nandito pa mga yamaha japan made double peds ko na nakakapagbigay pa rin ng tuwa kapag sobrang miss ko mga pinaglumaan kong drums.

Lately parang nahihilig ulit ako sa drumming at parang gusto ko na bilhin yung drums na ginagamit ko sa music studio. Dami na ako drum students naturuan sa mga drums na to at dun na lang ako nakakapagensayo...kung bigay sa kin ng mura bibilhin ko na at bubulagin ko ulit barangay namin kahit marami na drummers dito.
