The bottom head is typically tighter. Every snare drum is different, but just be sure you tune each lug to the same tension, and you should get a great sound.
Im always constantly tapping on things making beats, like every day, always so active, i've looked at outlets for my active mind and always thought drumming was too complex. Boy was i right. This is a tiny step into the ocean. Professional drummers are insane. I wish i had the patience & dexterous skills to see this passion through.
Thank you Tom! But you should see some of the even OLDER stuff :) We've been doing online lessons since 2002 which is almost 4 years BEFORE UA-cam. :) I'll keep that stuff in the vault for the next 20 years. - Jared
I've been drumming for 20+ years, and I get to try to teach my girlfriend and her son some basics fairly soon. I've never taught anyone to play anything that wasn't already a musician to some degree. I'm not too proud to admit this gives me a good way to start them off. Kudos to ya, and thanks.
Haha, the corny camera changes made me laugh. You've come along way in terms of a more relaxed informal approach since this Jared. Cool to see Drumeo's start though!
Great job, thank you for slowly going through it for beginners. Although I do somewhat know how to play, but I do appreciate you taking it slow for those wanting to learn. thank you.
I love how diverse drummers are. My friend has been playing drumset for four years, and was in the Jr. High jazz band for three. He still can't play a drum roll. Then there's me. I've got a long way to go drumset wise but I'm a seasoned percussionist who practices rudiments almost every day.
This is an excellent video for beginners who've never played or hit a drum on a drum set before. He makes it very simple for beginners. Very good video. Quality video.
never stop playin...you'll get where u need 2 b. it just takes practice. ive been playin for 20 years and i still have alot 2 learn. it just takes some time, practice, and keep watchin great drummers for inspiration and ideas. don't quit tho. im gonna post some lessons pretty soon
this was great thankyou, im just starting to play the drums i just got a 9piece set yesterday and i dont really no much about the drums but i play guitar and i must say guitar is quite easier in some ways than the drums, thankyou heaps for this it helped alot!
To all those that have just found this lesson - well done! To all those negative comments - dudes, this lesson is like over 4 years old but I can feel your feelings! AFAIK Jared was only starting out with the lessons when this was uploaded. Have you checked the latest lessons? WAY cooller. Lots of the old ones have been re-filmed as well......
@FocusFight Totally agree, I started on guitar first for a few years , when I got really good I decided to start the drums, It's ten million times more difficult just because of the fact that you're moving your whole body instead of just your arms and hands
I remember the day 3 years back when I first watched this video. I didn't even have drums and knew nothing. And now I'm intermediate and can play most rock songs. Feels so nice. You beginners should Keep in mind that it takes time. But believe me, the hard work pays off.
@freedrumlessons thanks freedrumlessons i found your video very helpful! i'm going to learn how to play drums and i appreciate this video you uploaded!!!!
my first book was called the funky primer...it has a bunch of basic beats that were fun to play when i first started out...it helps alot im not sure what author but i'm sure you could find it somewhere on google
look for a used kit; I got a westbury PROcussion last year for $375.00 used (regular $600.00). All I had to do was change the stock drum heads (I used evans ec2s which costed me about $70.00 for all the drums together) and it now sounds like $1000.00 pearl kit. You could always add more to it later (better pedals, cymbals, etc.) I found mine on kijiji (a website with local free ads for just about anything) so you could always check there (just search kijiji with the name of your city in google.)
My friends wanted a drummer for there band and they wanted me to do it. So I bought a starter and I just started playing with no prior experience. I think I've gotten pretty good. I've been playing for a year. You just gotta kinda feel it it. It's like dancing you know?
It's a very good practise :))!!! First its a bit difficult but when you try it more and more,you learn it very fast :D i know..its just the beginning how to learn drum but it's a lot of fun :D!!! Thanks :)
They are both percussion instruments, and co-ordination only resides in percussion and harp,because of your hands doing different things aswell as your feet :) It's a bonus to play piano, but usually guitarists take a flair to drums more than pianists. You don't HAVE to play piano to play drums. It's just useful as it's a very rhythmic instrument and requires a lot of co-ordination
@kublewagen this helped me. i suck sooooo bad at drums but atleast this dude is posting simple videos to help instead of just saying "anyone can do this" and just playing...
theres some tuning videos on youtube...and also putting a pillow or blanket inside the bass drum could help have a muffled sound with less resonance coming out of the sound of the bass drum
sweet sounding set !!! i just started playin a month ago...i still suck! lol i got the beats and stuff down, but dont know how ta do fast fills..i hope its just a practice issue
I heard from one of my friends (who plays the drums, by the way) that one of the hardest parts about being a drummer in any band is knowing that everyone on stage (as well as many people in the audience) are depending on you alone to keep time. If the drummer can't keep a beat, everything blows up.
IS IT AMAZING HOW ALL U GUYS ARE MAKING NEGATIVE COMMENTS IN SET OF GIVE THE GUYS CREDIT FOR MAKING SIMPLE FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT WANT TO LEARN AND NEED SOMEBODY LIKE HIM TO EXPLAIN IT SO SIMPLE LIKE THAT.... HEY MASTER GREAT JOB KEEP DOING WHAT U R DOING AND LET GOD TAKE CARE OF THOSE HEATERS AND HAVE MERCY ON THEM.... GOOD JOB AND GOD BLESS YOU
Your name is fantastic mate. Thanks a ton for this by the way, I'm looking to learn because there are a shortage of drummers at my school by an excess of Bass players, Pianists, and Singers... so my band opportunities are limited :P

Because it's UA-cam, that's what a lot of drummers do here. I appreciate your support!

Very good lesson. I'm a drum teacher myself, and this is the same thing I always teach to students that are just starting.

I had the same problem, so I got a digital drumset. Makes it harder to play for an audience, but it eliminates the noise factor.
This helped lots! Thank You!

Thank You so much for the lessons. I now have a founded hope that I will learn to play
