nag start ako sa isang simpleng basic beat. tug pak tugtug pak.. first song cover again by lenny kravitz.

kaya pag sumipra ako puro yung basic beat muna nung kanta. tapos next ko siprahin yung mga fill in bagsakan at sequence nung kanta.

wala pa akong kit at formal lessons noon... pero sa dahil gusto ko talaga matutong mag drums, nag rerent ako sa lazer ng drums lang 50/hr. pa ung drum practice dati eh hehe

every sunday, after mass w/ my family pumupunta kame sa SM, imbes na sa amusement center ako pumupunta nag 1hr drum rent ako sa lazer hanggang sa naturuan ko na ung sarili ko.

sir kili hanggang ngayon ba nagpapa-rent pa rin sila? sa lahat ng branches po ba ?

thanks sa reply.

i started playing at church. i just listen to music - a lot! i had no formal drum lessons.. but i had a mentor, he was a keyboardist.. it was good because he would check on me, and comment whether he liked our jam or not - i learned to put the music first, rather than learning all the chops..
then, i learned to read notes. reading notes helped me a lot in learning new beats. and now, i'm teaching in yamaha school of music cebu city

I started sa air drums. Tinuruan ako ng pinsan ko where's the snare, h-hat, toms, ride. hehe. Tpos sinasabayan ko yung kanta. Then real drums na sa band rehearsal na mismo yun deretso. I was a guitarist sa band tapos hindi pala marunong magdrums yung kinuha naming drummer so ako nagdrums. I was surprised na marunong na ako. Malaki ang naitutulong ang air drums.

ako tito ko talaga yung drummer(yun talaga magaling..pero di niya binalak magpro)

anyways, yun lagi ko siya pinapanood magdrums, tapos nung subukan ko, parang natural na huli ko agad yung tempo,beat tsaka timing.. kaya tingin ko, more on "feel" siya. ayun, di talaga ako drummer, pero nakakatugtog naman ako ng disente(hindi nga lang flashy oh merong crazy fills) pero hindi naman tunog robot or yung may delay every beat na parang iniisip pa yung susunod na hahatawin.. hehe..

pag family jamming,(ka jam si erpats at mga tito) ayun drummer ang role ko..

ako naman elementary pa lang natuto na mag air-drums. about grade 2 or 3. nagbabanda na kasi kuya ko non at kada tumutugtog sila, pinapanuod ko sya pumalo. tipong rage, razorback at juan dela cruz pa tinutugtog nila nun. so everytime na naririnig ko yung mga songs, nag-iimagine ako na ako yung nagddrums. pero hindi ako nakahawak or nakaupo man lang sa harap ng drumset nun kasi babatukan ako ng kuya ko. puro air-drum lang.

high school natuto ako mag-gitara pero basic na basic lang at talagang di ko trip. pagdating ko ng college nagbuo kame ng mga classmate ko ng banda bandahan. trip lang. hehehe! eh since first taste ko sa banda nun, bassist naman ako. bale yung classmate ko na nagbabanda talaga yung drummer. eh dahil bitin tugtugan dahil beginner din yung guitarist, nag-try ako magdrums. pagkatapos nun, nagulat ako marunong pala ako magdrums. hehehehe!! effective yung air-drums ko mula pa nung bata.

ayun..bale nakabuli ako ng sarili kong kit last year. dun ako nagpapraktis sa kwarto ko. pero di ako natuto magbasa ng mga notes. puro kinig lang talaga

Nung highschool ako idol ko talaga yung mga drummer.

Then I experienced being able to play with a band and really fell in love with the craft.
I saved up for a kit which I got a little over a year ago. Now I practice the rudiments
and play along with my iPod. Regrettably though, I still cant find extra budget for a good
metronome which I hear I really should have. Click tracks nalang muna.

A "good" metronome is about P500-P700 at raon...
It costs more on music stores at malls...

Ahuy iPod Touch / Phone ba yan? There are downloadable metronome apps sa iTunes ^_^

Brady · « **Reply #37 on:** February 23, 2011, 10:27:04 PM »

Sadly, mine is not an iPhone. Just an old school iPod. Raon is also a little too far from QC as I dont get around much.

what makes a metronome "good" by the way?

i started playing drums since 2003... natuto lang ako through air drumming. madalas akong mukang sira sa sala while listening to my favorite songs tapos sinasabayan ko lng ng nakapikit hahaha kaya nung 1st time kong umupo sa trono eh parang... basta! 2006 since i got my 1st kit. almost 2 months narin simula nung 1st gig namin pero hanggang ngayon pag may event nahahaluan parin ng kaba at hiya ung excitement. kahit perfect ko na sa rehersal pag dating sa actual event eh sumasabit parin.

Ngayon, Set-up ng broken office chair as a drum pad...
In front of my bed, with a metronome beside my laptop...
Ready yung Media Player w/ line-up on the playlist...
Then pasada ng 100 counts of quads in 100bpm...
1st set of 100 using a 2b drumstick...
Then switching to a 5a for anothe 100 counts...

shinobi_hand · « **Reply #40 on:** March 02, 2011, 07:09:41 PM »

I started because my dad was a drummer.
i wanted to be a guitarist.
after awhile i just sat down and things fell into their natural balance. =]

i practice 28 rudiments on a pad everyday and once a week on the set.
the just use the stickings and see what sounds good.

for independence i just practice simple polyrhythms, then i just practice playing 32nds at around 120
and 16ths with one hand and foot alternating. then put it all together.

a metronome is good because it would be what most drummers would sound like if you took the audio from any song and only listened to the hi-hats. or ride/crash or whatever is keeping time.

it also helps in pushing.pulling the pocket. if you don't have one get one. it'll automatically make you better just by having it. ;]

it was a weird start for me. natuto akong mag-drums by means of air drumming. tapos minemorize ko 'yung mga tunog ng mga parts ng isang drumset. nakahawak na lang ako ng real drumset when i was in 3rd yr highschool.

tyrande101 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 07, 2011, 11:55:14 PM »

ako rin nag start ako matuto ng drums sa church..
sobrang imba kapag sa Lord ka natututo pumalo..

Minsan nakakagawa ka ng mga fills and bagsakan na talagang hindi mo ginagawa,
tapos minsan at the end of worship, binati ka ng co-musician mo, "ganda nung ginawa mo kanina ah", tapos nakalimutan mo na pala kung pano ulit yun.. haha!

Ibang klase kapag tumutugtog ka sa Diyos, lalo na kapag puspos ka na talaga, parang mararamdaman mo bigla kang mag-uupgrade, parang naka over-soul (shaman king,. haha! joke) sayo na angel sa likod mo tapos talagang +100% ang bilis mo, sharpness mo, yung term na, "iniisip mo pa lang, ginagawa mo na" haha! of course, sa lahat ng palo at tambol na ginagawa mo, dapat nakikita ang glory ng Lord

Well, technically speaking, natuto lang ako nuod nuod sa youtube, tsaka naging teacher ko kahit sandali si Master Rei, ewan ko kung kilala niyo yun, mentor ni Franklyn benitez at naging teacher din daw ni bagets at otep.. daw lang

Guitars talaga interest ko at first..
kaso nag transfer ako ng school nung high school pa ako, and tried to form a band..
un nga lang, 4 kaming gitarista at walang drummer, ayun pinilit nila ako mag-drums and started studying the whole Nevermind album ng Nirvana using pillows at hanger as sticks hehehe

Thanks to Dave Grohl

nung una eh sinasabayan ko lang yung money for nothing (dire straits) na nasa plaka pa
dun sa sofa using my kawayan home made drum sticks hehe.
tapos banda yung classmate ko kaya lagi ako sumasama sa band practice nila.
tapos binili ako ng drums ni mama at papa kasi taas ng mga grades ko
during 4th year HS....at dun na ako nagsimulang nagsikap paunti unti sa drums...una sariling sikap,
sifra ng mga kanta...tapos naglesson na ako para matutunan pano naisusulat mga drum parts.
nanonood ng mga vhs drum lessons nila weckle, steve gadd etc...tapos nagpaturo pa ng konti kay Master Rolly Quizon....walang katapusang ensayo at pag sifra ng mga kanta....habang nanonood ako ng tv pinapractis ko mga double strokes, paradiddles, lately yung kaliwa kong kamay ginagamit sa pagtetxt para mas lalong bumilis yung weaker limb ko hay....buhay tambolero.

para ganun din ang exp ko.,16 yrs old ako nagaral magdrums,una gitara ang hawak ko,tapos gusto namin magkabanda wala kame drummer kaya ako nagaral magdrums.,pero pahinto-hinto ang pagprapractice,kaya ngayun 20 yrs old na ako parang hindi nag iimproved dahil patigil-tigil.,busy pa sa school kaya minsan walang time sa practice.,pero sineseryoso ko.,lamang ang marunong magbasa ng sheet music dahil marami kang beat na mapapag-aralan ,na ang technique lang maperfect mo.,nakaka sifra ako kaso ung mga beat lang hirap parin ako sa mga fill.,pero ngayun double bass ang pinagaaralan ko.,isipin mo na lang yung iba nga walang drums at mga master pero ang gagaling nila,ikw pa kaya.,walang imposible basta ginusto mo.,my master is mr.youtube dame matutunun.,hehe.,mga secret at technique.,tiyaga lang.,pre.,hehe.,

sanayin mong magbasa at magsulat. kapag nasanay ka, tiyak malayo ang mararating mo...masmadali rin makakuha ng trabaho kung sakaling kakareerin mo talaga ang pagpapalo...

)

ilang taon na ko nagpapalo bago ako natuto magbasa at talaga namang nahirapan ako...pero simula nang matuto ako, masmalinaw na yung tunog ng bawat beat, fill, accent, (ultimong ghost note) kaysa dati na nabubulol...masmadali rin makaintindi ng polyrythm

highly recommended gear: practice pad (para kahit sa banyo pwede magpractice), metronome, sticks(malamang)
at siyempre importante, sipag at tiyaga

optionals: videos (minsan masmadaling matutuhan pag pinanunood kesa pinakikinggan)
