I'm a total beginner and got my first electric kit today. I played along with this video for about an hour and had such a blast! I got it by the end despite my kick falling behind a little and couldn't stop playing it. Loved the backing track - so much more fun to play to than a click!
This is great to read. Im considering FINALLY getting myself an electric kit next year, and doing these lessons just for the fun of it. Ive always wanted to learn the drums...my fitness drum class and hitting the sticks on the floor is as close as Ive gotten. 😄
@@RadicalValkyrie it’s definitely worth it if you ever wanted to play drums. I just got an electronic set this weekend and it’s so much fun. The only reason I went electric is cause I have the drums setup in my room on the second floor so I can’t have an acoustic set too loud. I got the Alesis mesh surge kit and it’s pretty cool, I love that I can get a ton of different sounds without having to adjust the drum heads or purchase a ton of other drums.
FINALLY!! Someone understands what’s it’s like to be a complete beginner - timing the kick was always my issue (I would want to tap my foot to match my hands on each hit instead of being disciplined and keeping my foot down while my hands do the work), so many RU-vid videos just jump to grooves at full speed and tell you to copy them without letting you get your body accustomed to the full movements or reasoning first.
I’ve been contemplating taking up drums as a retirement hobby. In one video, you take students from a beat, to playing a song. You’re wonderful, and you’ve convinced me to go for it! Thank you, ma’am!
I'm retired but I still play and love my drums. Here's a hint when you start try playing ambidextrous. It challenges both sides of the brain. Happy drumming my friend! Bless.
Go for it and don’t hesitate, get an electronic kit if noise is an issue, I just bought my first kit I’m 57, I’ve been air drumming to songs since I was a young teen and wished I’d taken up playing them back then, but my mum couldn’t afford to be me a kit and it would’ve been too noisy to play. I find that I can actually play along to some songs because I’ve been doing it on air for such a long time
I was cruising RU-vid for drumming videos a couple months back with my 2yr old daughter because she showed an interest in playing drums and we found this video. This is her favorite video! She watches this at least 3x a day now and you can tell she’s absorbing it the more she watches. As someone who likes to play multiple instruments, I’m finally getting it too. Thank you for this video, and rock on!
Been practicing this work out for about 10 days now, being my first time holding sticks and starting to learn the drums I feel really good about my progress, my plan is to keep praticing this work out until the beginning of the 30 day course, I'm so excited!!!! ❤️🔥🥁
she is great, all around. good teaching skills, keeping everything very simple and easy to follow. Made me grab my pad and practice some tempo, too. Good for anyone who wants to play the drums so they can see how fun it can be, even at their first steps.
I'm not a drummer, I don't have a drumset but I iust sat down and air drummed for 10 mins while mesmerized by the video. Great job I'd say. She's an excellent teacher for someone who doesn't have any idea about drumming.
Thanks to all the drumeo team and Domino for the class, it's great that your never stop sharing the topic of teaching because that keeps us drummers in the habit of discipline and never stop learning and also the class is dynamic and fun. Quedo chida la clase.
Been drumming for +- 50 years. Still put 1-2 hours a day. Often had to teach youngsters that had all the theory knowledge to go back to the basics. Keep it clean, neat and tight. None of the Beatles read music. Follow how you feel.
You really chose the best person to teach this. Domino is having such a contagious smile and clearly having fun while doing this. 👌 And the steps are very intuitive. I'm clearly going to use this approach if I teach drums to a beginner. Thanks, Drumeo! 👍
As simple as these beats may seem to someone who's been playing the dwumms already for quite some time, it still was heaps of fun to play along with Domino (and some of the other drumeo guys in the recent live stream video, too) 😊👍
It has taken me an entire week to be able to nail this 5 minute workout 😂 Starting from total beginner and having never played any intrument before. I practiced with the metronome on my kit and came back to this workout every now and again. It has been a challenge, but i enoyed it.
Thank you, my 9 year old Granddaughter has just started learning as a complete beginner, and she loves the step by step approach starting with the very basics.
1:07 -- I'm left-handed but when I learned as a kid, I knew that nobody ever was going to have a left-handed house kit so I forced myself to learn right-handed and I love it because now it opened up so much extra, with no dominant hand now.
Today was my first time playing on a kit and I'm left handed, so I played the high hat with my left and the snare with my right. But is it better to learn the right-handed way from the outset?
@@lespantalonsfancie2434 I've been playing for 30+ years now but at first, I forced myself to learn as a righty, just to unlock that. It's frustrating at first but what helped sooo much were paradiddles. At the time, I didn't know much about them until I finally started taking lessons with his amazing jazz drummer. I was too dominate with my left but this evened them up. He wouldn't let me touch the hi-hat until I could play paradiddles perfectly so I practiced on pads, sped up, down, etc. But when I got that down, now I do both sometimes where I'll open up and my right will go across the kit while the left stays on the hi-hat. But yeah, don't let yourself left with your left on the hi-hat, it'll be bad habits for life... gotta break that now. But again... paradiddles then rudiments... then jamming :)
@@ronineditor9920 thank you 🤗. I decided after reading your comment a few days ago to switch everything to how righties play. It also makes it easier when copying tutorial videos so that I don't have to try to adapt anything. And yes, I keep hearing about the importance of paradiddles haha.
@@lespantalonsfancie2434 That's awesome! I hope it helps. Yeah, I originally set up my kit like a lefty but then every store I went to, it was all for right-handers so I just gave in and learned that way but I'm so glad I did.
I am a guitarist, at the young age of 63, keen on learning to play drums. Wow, I love this Beginner lesson. I feel confident to go buy an electric drum pad set to start my drumming journey. Its gonna be fun, I'm sure. 😊😊
If you're at a party and just want to jam at a 4/4 time to a simple pop or rock tune whether to a record or with other musicians this will work and just have fun
I been watching Drumeo for a while now, as a producer I mainly do stuff on my keyboard, during Covideo ;) (trying not to get censored) I bought my first guitar, this week I bought my first E-kit that arrives within 2 weeks, I can't wait to start smashing.
Domino is a good drummer and I like her style. As a bonus she is cute, very cute actually. However, if you want to 4/4th beat in a few minutes there is a great video by Sina. Not quite sure what you can learn by just playing along for 10 minutes a day for a month. I learnt the 4/4th by myself and then I had a few half hour or our sessions with a friend who plays drums. That was in the 90s. I did my practice on phone books, I didn't even have practice pads. Just phone books are hard to fine these days :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’m doing a study project for my class, and we needed to study a new instrument and create a presentation!! Love you girl!!❤
Oh yea- I’m starting a band now- Actually- great video for beginners and experienced drummers- it never hurts to get refresher course- Thanks for posting
Using two bamboo knitting needles and a pillow for this as an absolute beginner with no kit who has always wanted to learn the basics of drumming, haha. Great video!
I searched for a true beginner video to follow along with some "chop sticks in the air" just to try something for fun... and it was really good. I struggled at the beginning because i didnt know what a crash and all that stuff is and having nothing visible in front of me... and it is not that easy to see in a video ... but it was a fun lesson and i got it right in the end. Reading here that some people enjoyed it after a week of practice instead of directly the first time i think about starting to learn how to play drums properly. But i am over 30 years old and dont know if its worth my time instead of learning to play the guitar (what i do for almost 3 years now). It would be so good if my days had not 24 but 48 hours xD
Thank you Domino's and drumeo for your demonstration video. I'm planning on starting to play drums again and work on my technique and some other stuff!
