Should
You Consider A Drum Lesson
Online?
Learn
To Play Drums -- But On The
Internet?
The
internet has made it easier than
ever to learn to drum. You can
get a drum lesson online now, so
that you can start today without
ever even leaving your house. I
have a friend who has been doing
just that.
He has
subscribed to a site which, twice
a week, gives him an interactive
drum lesson online. The
technology of it is just
extraordinary. It can actually
show him the beats as it is
playing. There is even a feature
that will listen to his playing
and make comments, but
unfortunately it requires
expensive midi triggers to detect
the notes.
Does A
Drum Lesson Online Compare To A
Music Teacher?
Of course,
all of this technology is really
positively neato, but it still
doesn't beat a real face to face
lesson in my opinion. Sure, there
are advantages to taking a drum
lesson online.
Pros And
Cons To A Drum Lesson
Online
You can
take it any time you want, it is
cheaper than a normal lesson in
person, and finally, it allows
you to not leave the house for
your lesson. But when you get
down to it, there are things that
a real teacher can tell you that
a drum lesson online simply can
not.
First of
all, he can tell you when you are
making mistakes, and what to do
about it. Even if a drum lesson
online can detect your mistakes,
it won't be able to detect more
subtle things like amplitude and
“feel”.
Drumming
Lessons Online Are Not Always
Enough
To learn
really rudimentary techniques,
all you have to do is practice,
and listen to an expert play, but
to learn some advanced licks
requires a bunch more. You need
some one who really knows their
way around a drum kit to do that,
and that is a hard someone to
find online.
My First
Drum Lesson Online
Although I
took my first drum lesson online,
I soon discovered that I really
would do much better with a real,
live teacher. I soon found my
teacher, and began studying how
to play drums.
The
difference was amazing. The drum
lesson online did a little for
me, but the teacher I got showed
me right away how to become a
better drummer. It was a drumming
lesson I won't soon forget that
started it.
I never
even realized that I needed to
develop hand independence to
advance past the basics until my
teacher told me that, but once
she gave me some tips, I was soon
on my way to becoming a great
drummer.
