Title: Drumming Frustrations and Inspirations
Post by: zound_tech on July 18, 2007, 09:40:04 PM
ei guys, medyo down kc ako ngyon sa pagtugtog ng drums, ang kalat ko pumalo these days tapos parang ang bigat sa loob ko, parang frustrated ako lagi kapag nagddrums, ndi ako kuntento sa tunog ko, makes me think about quitting drumming and focus on studies, anyways, kc importante naman diba para sa kahit kaninong musikero ang maging inspired? more than the skills, it's how you apply it that is more important, so how do you guys keep yourselves inspired?

ei brod,it's ok!! :roll: naramdaman ko n rin yan. pero kahit talikuran mo yan babalik at babalik p rin. my advice is try mo mag shift to other music genres. :mrgreen:
try to listen s mga classic like toto,spyro gyra.put the music into your heart not in your ears.believe me.

Hmm... i also felt that way nung nawala yung original na drummer ng show band and i was expecting na ako ang papalit kasi ako na lagi ang nagse-session, tapos may kinuha pa na iba. It made me think, maayos ba palo ko / groove ko or is it kalat kaya iba ang kinuha nila? And tagal na ako nato-torment dahil hindi ako makapunta ng Manila para ituloy JIHAD sessions ko!

I feel your frustration kapatid..ganyan din ako..haay! :|
Well I would go with their suggestions..go to EB's, watch live performances..listen to different Genre's and watch drum dvds..finding inspiration can be a challenge from time to time..I think its normal, but the important thing is we get back on track and focus on what we want to achieve..kaya natin ito! Be positive! :lol:

hay... kaya nga eh. hirap pa naman lalo na pag busy sa trabaho or nag aaral katulad ko.. nawawalan na ng time makapag drums or practice. kaya nga minsan pare parehas lang tayo na nakakaramdam ng frustration diba. basta mag isip lang palagi ng drums. makinig ng music. watch dvd's ng paborito mo na banda na paborito mo din drummer pwede din watch instructional dvds hehe. totoo naman yung dudumi yung palo natin pero yung kinakalawang sa pag palo madali lang naman mabalik yung dati mong palo. konting practice lang kuha na ulit. siyempre hindi na yun mawawala sayo basta natutunan mo na at nagawa mo na dati ng malinis. :mrgreen:

I treat those kinds of days as, well, parang bad hair day. No reason to shave my head bald.
Chicken and egg situation: When I think I drum well, I get inspired. And when I'm inspired, I somehow come up with stuff that I enjoy hearing.
When I'm not inspired to play drums, but I think I have to.... I practice rudiments na lang while watching TV.(di naman kelangan mainspire pag nagrurudiments eh). When I get inspired later on, at least medyo OK na chops ko. And the cycle goes on.

hahaha. Matagal ko na sinasabi sa yo yan di mo pa rin ginagawa hehehe....may kilala ka na nga eh heheheeh....
Advice ko rin, kung hindi mo kelangan ng inspiration, kelangan mo ng challenge, never think ikaw ang pinakalaos or pinakamagaling dahil there will always be a person who is much better or much worse then you. The thing is, determination lang talaga nagkakatalo yan. Kung talagang gusto mo magdrums habambuhay, make a way na yun lang ang gagawin mo. No other activities kahit na work or studies (ang sama ko pero it's true). Do you think all the great drummers in the states may sideline sila before they got famous? drumming lang talaga. Like sabi sa akin ni master jp, si donati ata yun eh. wala na syang ginawa habambuhay kundi magdrums. Pero iba kasi ang state natin dito sa pinas. You really have to work or study to be successful.
So, ang ma-advice ko sa yo is. Time Management din. If you want to really improve your craft, di not complain about not having the time. Isiksik mo sa oras mo. So what kung pagod ka? You have to sacrifice if you really want your skills to improve. No pain, no gain. To gain something, you have to sacrifice another. Ayan....

Tama lahat ng suggestions nila, zound_tech.
Aside from listening to new genre, attending EBs, watching live shows, one approach that I personally apply to my drumming is setting a goal.
Life without purpose is meaningless, same thing applies to drumming... As I have mentioned before in this forum, I consider drumming as my religion too- a ritual where I commune with my imaginary world where everything is possible, a theraphy for my soul, an offering to God, communication with the afterlife, a celebration of life, love and everything positive - a healing proccess - this made the drumming a source of inspiration, itself. :-)

naalala ko yung sinabi ni jonard miltra, (drummer of ntwine) sabi nya sakin lifestyle daw ang pagdrums, kung meron daw akong drummer na gs2 gayahin dapat tingnan ko yung buhay nya, then i really got confused, ngyon ko lang narealize na ang pagtugtug pala, being an art, requires so much passion, kya ngayin inaalam ko talga kung ano kelangan para mag improve musically, that's why i came up with this thread, and salamat po sa lahat ng inputs nyo,

guys dagdag ko lang. i was suppose to start a new topic about this pero nabasa ko itong thread mukhang di nalalayo yung isusulat ko. hehehe
lately gusto ko magawa yung 16th note sa hihat na isang kamay lang, mabagal lng kasi kaya ko. i got INSPIRED from watching jeff porcaro video on how he played "i keep forgetting by michael mcdonald). i asked mar dizon to suggest some exercises and he told me to try the moeller. tapos naalala ko may topic si dom famularo sa book nya about the moeller stroke. when i open the book, i saw his autograph to me. it says "ENJOY EVERY NOTE YOU PLAY!" ayun i got INSPIRED again na i should enjoy every note whenever i play. di ba pag feel mo yung kanta parang sarap mo paluan. suggestion lang pag nadedepress ka sa palo mo, try to play along to your favorite song. yung masarap yung groove! then i got INSPIRED again to write this post. yun lang bow! hehehehe

Ang pinaka main drummer na inspiration ko: Joey Jordison Alam ko maraming hindi bilib sa kanya na mga drummers pero ako idol ko talaga siya. :-D Sa tingin ko kaya maraming may ayaw sa kanya eh dahil sa popularity niya.. Yung iba kasi pag masyadong popular ang drummer parang hinahanapan talaga nila ng kapintasan eh. Sana gets nyo ung sinasabi ko.. Pero ako wala akong pakelam sa popularity, ang iniintindi ko yung mga ideas nya sa bawat kanta nila at talagang elibs ako sa kanya! :-D Tama lang sa kanya yung popularity nya.!.
Ang haba na pala ng sinabi ko.. :lol:

hindi ko pa kyo naririnig lahat pumalo, pero for sure magagaling kyo!
tska k sir vaisteen2003, maraming salamat pinapanood ko yung vid na un lagi salamat sir!
and k sir chanocreeze naman, salamat din po, pero ndi ko naman iniignore si God, actually, drummer po ko sa church, at pakiramdam ko lang na nagiging stagnant ako sa skills ko,
also, nagbabasabasa ako sa forum ng gospelchops, galing ng mga drummers dun! ganda nung groove nila, sana makuha ko din yun,

Post by: bangbus on August 28, 2007, 09:21:58 PM
i read through the pages of your thread and i noticed one of your replies which cited that you focus too much on the technicalities...
you know what bro, ive been through that state lately and i sort of got frustrated myself. hell im not a good drummer myself (very newbie material in fact) but i surely wanted to improve my overall drumming so i looked into the technical side of drumming, from the way i held my sticks, various positions of feet on the peds, stricking techniques, dynamics, even note reading...almost the whole lot. i can fairly say that ive improved but i have to be honest i didnt have fun. it was cool learning new stuffs and techniques but at the end of the day i told myself--sure drumming is an endless learning experience and it pays to be technical once in a while but i sort of asked myself rin "where is the fun in that?" i mean "where is the fun in drumming?" the answer to that really varies and depends on the person...so i sort of reflected and asked myself "what makes drumming 'fun' for me and me alone?"
at that point i said: ok tama na muna technical side, back to jamming with friends and music tracks and apply what i learned when i went technical. and indeed my drummin improved a bit, not a whole lot, but better than nothing.
my point is, it pays to look at the technical and learning side of drumming once in while, but i guess, just as anyone else, concentration on training a lot tends to wind people down...you also got to get in there and define what makes drumming fun and enjoyable to you and go do it. training, take a step back, have fun, evaluate, relax...its a fun cycle i guess if you put it that way. kumbaga sa school, pag aral na lang ng aral, di ba nakakatamad and sawa minsan pag di naman na-a-apply.
i say learn, relax, have fun, assess how youre doing, take a breather, and yep it pays to have someone to look up to in various aspects in life. ako in drumming, i look up to several foreign drummers and a couple of local pinoydrummers. not only do i get inspired by their drumming, i also check out who and what inspires them.
for example: i look up to taylor hawkins of foo fighters, when you dig deep, you can see an obvious similarity of his style with stewart copeland. why? coz he admires, emulates and is a copeland diehard. another, jose pasillas, listen to his creativity, then listen to billy cobham of mahavishnu orchestra. you'd see so much adaptations on there. one more, dave abbruzzese, listen to manu katche and jerry larotta of peter gabriel's plays live and shaking the tree albums and you can probably ascertain where he got his inspirations specially evident in versus and vitalogy albums. not that theyre carbon copies of their idols, each one also brings forward their own unique voice and leaves a 'trademark' in each song they punch in view of their inpirations.
but i also say, in life you gotta choose the right people who will inspire you. and inspire you to do good and your best, they must! not the otherwise. coz the person you will turn out to be depends on them rin.
okidoks, sorry i got carried away. but cheer up, we go through similar drum ruts, it happens to the best of us and is there for a reason...question is, what are you gona do about it?
:wink:

that's really good that you make a way to improve your skills. i'm not a good drummer myself but i can say i'm improving since i find ways to do it. yung mga technicalities, importante lang for me is to know the fundamentals. kahit tamang paghawak ng sticks, posture...yung iba bahala na...hehe
also, always ask for guidance kay Lord...like what chanocreeze said...i too, went back into drumming because i want to serve JC...i don't sing, i don't know any other instruments but drums...so that's where i am now. i stay focus in glorifying His name, whenever i play. kahit na ndi ako magaling, gumalgaling ako sa harap Nya...ang sarap dba?!
for sound_tech, don't feel bad if some people are criticizing you on how you play...wala namang taong pinanganak na may hawak nang stick, dba?! i mean, lahat talaga dumadaan sa mga ganun...take it as a challenge...
teka parang mas magaling akong magbigay ng advice, maging Advicer na lang kaya ako..kesa drummer...hehe joke!

Post by: metalmuhlisha on September 06, 2007, 10:39:02 PM
napaisip lang ako, kasi right now, i'm getting really pent up with double strokes on my hands. gusto ko kasi talaga bilisan at gawing malinis, pero minsan kasi sumasablay lalo na kapag matagal na ko nag-prapractice, pumapangit and/or hindi ko ma-execute ng tama (like when i do 4 doubles with both hands). don't get me wrong, my doubles have gotten better over the last 2 weeks pero... ewan. nakaka-frustrate lang kasi. ginagawa ko nalang, mag-do-double peds ako ng mabilis kapag nababadtrip na ko just to let off some steam. haha.
any advice?
and... how do you guys deal with frustration when it kicks in with regards to drumming?

When it gets to the point I always gets to the point I'm always frustrated I give it 1 or 2 days off... just to cool myself down and listen to as much music as possible where I can hear what I'm trying to learn... as of now my optimistic approach in learning techniques in drumming has helped a lot, I just keep on trying to learn them no matter how long it takes. Nothing can be achieved overnight right? I remember it took me 1 month to learn the whole piece of Rosanna and I'm not saying I got it note for note but I'm happy I can do pretty much something that resembles the real piece. I just try to be patient and keep telling myself "if others can do it, I can!"

oo nga no, i also listen to alot of music whenever i'm not drumming, sayang lang nasira yung zen vision: m ko and i'm trying to get it repaired/replaced so no music on the go for me at the moment.
ayos to, salamat sa mga replies. siguro ma-aapply ko tong mga to. just goes to show you that different people have different ways of "getting over that hump". :D

my new job here at mapex also inspires me alot since this is a new challenge for me and a new way to gauge myself...
drumming nad music is beautiful and we should forget to thank our higher being for giving us this blessing :wink:

Pain on my right hand and wrist due to the mouse Im using. :-(
Its an everyday task, so kelangan mag tablet na 'ko instead of mouse. Bad trip, one week na hindi pa sya fully recovered. Galing na ko sa ortho, sabi ng doktor sobrang stressed daw ng kamay ko.
Anyway, at least for now I can force myself to practice using only my left hand. Otherwise, I'd have to stop practicing at all, which is more unbearable! :-D

hmmmm tama din siguro to isolate you're self from the band as of the moment, yung ibang banda ginagawa din to, nagtatime out muna,.. pero dapat sabhin mo din sa kabanda mo :-D
maybe you should try to find yourself muna, a little break will ease some tensions you're experiencing right now,..
tapos pag ayos ka na ulit gawan mo na ng kanta tas tugtog na ulit hehehehe! :lol:

one thing pala, I also encountered the same ordeal that you're undergoing right now, yung lahat ng nangyayari sayo kala mo palpak,.. hehehe lahat na lang e problema,.. yup been there bro... pati sa music palpak din ako, kala ko hindi talaga ako music person, nagalit ako sa gitara ko eh muntik ko na basagin...

gud day bro bryce...i think this is normal. lahat ng bagay may panahon kung saan you lose desire. Tama siguro yung ginawa mo na mag-isip muna...pero i also agree sa sinabi ni sir na mas maganda to inform your bandmates about your problems at decisions.
I too experienced that... i didn't force myself back in to playing...kusa lang yan... watching and listening drummers play both live, audio and videos definitely keeps you motivated. Attending EBs are also a good way to get you back in track.
But i suggest that you first solve your problems bro...siguro ayun ang nag trigger din kung bakit nawala yung gana mo sa pagdrums...
you have your friends, bandmates, family and especially faith to guide you man. Andito lang naman ang mga drumming sis and bros mo to help you.
Peace. Godbless and Goodluck.

OMG its the drummer depression syndrome!!!!
dude halos lahat ng drummer merong ganyang pinagdadaanan, lalo na tayo nasa teens pa (although ako 1 year nalang hindi na na), think of it as leveling up
hindi ang mga pinaka-magaling na drummer ang pinaka-magandang influences, relax ka lang lilipas din yan
at isa pa, maniwala ka sa sinasabi ng iba, technically sila ang nakakarinig sayo hindi ikaw, so best thing to do is concentrate, at wag mong iisipin na isa ka sa pinka-magaling dahil malabo yun kung hindi ka man lang nagprapractice ng para-diddles mo sa bahay, o hindi mo man lang makopya ng pinaka simpleng ghost note sa mga kanta.
hindi ka mag-iimprove kung puro mga ritual lang ang mga ginagawa mo prior to gigs or jamming,
practice makes gnarkill, dont aim for perfection, kapag na-master mo na ang flow ng kanta marami kang magagawang variation,
variations are the high-lights of a drummer lalo na kung alam mo na ang mga basic rudiments gagana ang creativity mo
teka alam kong hindi mo babasahin to, baka sakali lang na makatulong ako

Hmm....matanong ko lang kung technical drummer ka o groove drummer ka.
Pero anyways, losing passion is the hardest thing that can hit you. Pero maybe it's not just you, it's also your group. Maybe they don't want to progress as fast as you do, or maybe they want to progress but you don't. Ganon lang yun eh.
With regards to losing passion because of skill man, patience is always the key. 16 ka pa lang, bata ka pa, your legs are still strong. I actually envy you because you started drumming at a young age. Nung edad ko yan, bara-bara pa yung mga bandmates ko nyan. Practice, practice, practice. Kung nabo-bored ka kapag nakatutok ka sa practice, do what i do, sinasanay ko katawan ko na unconsciously practicing while doing other things, how? For example, nanonood ka ng movie or tv, kuha ka ng stick mo, practice rudiments in your legs or sa practice pads, pero wag mo lalakasan palo mo dahil maingay. Tsaka hitting hard doesn't always do the job (tama ba grammar dun? haha). Napansin ko na habang mas lighter ang palo mo, mas bumibilis dynamics mo, the problem that will arise again is control. Take note, iba ang control sa sinasakal ang stick.
Yan, haba na naman ng post ko pero i hope i helped. Pwede kang magbakayson muna ng konti sa pagbabanda, pero don't let your skill go on vacation too. Hirap ibalik yan.

puro ako nood ng nood.. di ko pa rin magawa mga ginagawa nila, antagal ko nang inaaral yung double peds hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin makuha, sensiya na mga bro ha? amateur palang ako sa double peds e.. gusto ko din matuto ng rudiments.. meron bang makakatulong sakin??
salamat sa lahat ng nag encourage sakin.. :-D God Bless you po mga kuya!!
dami ko din problema, sa family, friends, relationships etc.. na dedepress kasi ako ngayong bakasyon, miss ko na mga kaibigan ko lalo na yung gf ko, di ako maka alis ng bahay kasi wlang pera.. ayun na dedepress ako.. walang maka usap sa bahay, kaya wala din gana mag drums..
para dun sa dinabi ni sir kibohead:
Quote
But i suggest that you first solve your problems bro...siguro ayun ang nag trigger din kung bakit nawala yung gana mo sa pagdrums...
pano kung ibang tao makaka solve ng problema mo? pano kung parang imposible? yun nga prob ko e, kasi may peace of mind ako at ginaganahan mag drums kung minsan walang problema pero yun nga tulad ng sinabi ni sir carl20:

mas ok nga yung ganito eh kasi you're up for a challenge, and challenges makes who you are as a person, dito mo masusubukan kung hanggang saan ka... problems are part of being a human so it's pretty natural to experience it, its just a matter of how you deal with it and overcome.

Frustrated drummer ako. I love it so much but I faced several instances to choose other things than playing drums.
1. Took lessons when I was HS but that's one summer only. Back to books during schooltime
2. Tried to join a few bands in College but I cannot go full time since my parents wants me to concentrate on studies
3. Planned on enrolling at UP school of music after College but I have to work
4. When I had my own money, I decided to take MBA instead of more drum lessons
5. After MBA I have more responsibilities at work and I got married.
Kaya hayun at hobby na lang talaga :-D
