Ang sa akin, nag set ako ng specific goals to consider yung level ng pagda drums na gusto kong maabot. Nakatulong ito para sa akin on what to practice. Syempre kailangan ikaw ang mag set ng sarili mong standard/ criteria for each level. Iba iba din naman tayo ng style. Pero here's my example:
1-2 Can play
basic drum grooves and fills + knows the Rudiments
3-4 Can play
different grooves and fills. Someone who is good enough to play w/ a band
5-6 Can read notations and drum charts, na kaya magbasa ng kahit anong drum books
7-8 Can teach drums/ create own drum parts.
9-10 Level of a session drummer, yung kayang mag record in any style of music w/ any musicians they need to work with.
I agree sa sinasabi ng mga senior members, hindi naman natatapos ang pag improve ng skills ng isang drummer. Also your welcome to disagree, paalala lang na itong level chart ay ginawa ko para sa akin, sometimes I use this for my students.
But I guess ikaw ang mag set ng challenges sa sarili mo para may way ka to measure if you still would consider yourself as a beginner, comparing it to when you just started playing.
level ko: 7
