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.
Of course,
all of this technology is really
positively awesome, 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.
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”.
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.
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. You can be too!

Johnny Cash posters are

lots of popular music

true.
