music store

hello

I just found this store I never heard of before called daddy's junk music here is their site http://www.daddys.com/ they have a lot of used stuff so it is cheap and you can take lessons. I think people that want a drum set should go to this site it tell you right were the store is located and the number to call if you want to take lessons.

how to learn a song you want to play on the drums

hello

I just got off my drum set and I learned something. I put on my headphones and I play the drums with the song. What if you go to a concert or something where you have to play with a band, you wont be able to use your headphones. So what I'm starting to do is play the song with the head phones on then do it with the head phones off and it helped a lot when I did that because I have listened to the song so Manny times I have memorized the drumming part. So now if I go to perform at a concert last minute I will have memorized the song and I will be all set.

when you drum you get Blisters?

Hi
I have heard when people drum they get blisters? I have did some research and I found that if you relax your hands and don't grip to hard on the stick it will go away. If you get blisters in your hands after drumming I suggest you take a break relax your hands for a couple of days until they go away or until they don't hurt. Then when you go to drum relax and don't grip your sticks to hard. One of the things I do to avoid this problem is get drumming gloves I put them on when I drum and I still don't grip the sticks hard. I also heard using rubber helps for sometime but after a while it makes it worse. So what I would do is just relax your hands get some gloves and don't grip your sticks and you should be good.
Good luck!

what is so good about being a drummer?

Hello 

In this post I am going to tell you what is so good about being a drummer.

What made me want to make this post is people have asked me what is so good about being a drummer. I did not know what to say right then so I said your right but now that I have had time to think about it my answer is it gives you skills just like any other interment does like trumpet when I started playing trumpet it helped me hold my breath under water better and that is an important skill if your a swimmer. When you play drums their is so much you can do you can move around, sing etc.....
