This I Love

Since the purpose of my blog is the archiving of an adventure, I will start at the beginning. Though I am not a complete beginner at drums and have been playing for about a year and a half, I'm going to layout some basic knowledge for others who have not started. I'm not an expert by any means, I'm just showing exactly what I used (and still do use) when I started. Before I begin I should make it perfectly clear that I am not trying to be any sort of instructor and I don't really plan on making many more posts like this one. But for those that want to go on a drum adventure of their own, here's some shit for you.


First off, take a gander at this video, it'll clear up a lot of things:

Here's a better look at the layout of a drum kit he was talking about.

That guy doesn't have anymore videos on drumming unfortunately, but here are some more resources I've used (I have no affiliation with any of these sites).

DRUMMERWORLD (awesome website with a discussion forum, store, videos, and a list of great drummers to read about)

Rock Drumming System (helpful articles on drum notation, techniques, beats, etc. and also links to many more websites)

So there you go, I recommend checking those places out if you want to learn yourself some drums. If anyone has more questions on drumming I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my knowledge, but most of my posts will not be instructional as I said earlier.
