Introduction to drum set: improving the speed of drum set
First of all, you should practice the flexibility of your wrist. Slow and steady at first! ! Then ... pursue the speed you want ... remember that the main thing is stability and speed ~ ~ I wish you early success ... Come on! ! ! ! Drummer Teaching] Drum Tutorial Series-Click Practice For the average person, click practice is usually not a big problem! ! However, I still want to tell you some key points that need attention and special strengthening.
Warm-up exercise: practice the balance, stability and speed of your left and right hands. Before every exercise, just like before exercise, there must be warm-up exercises to help activate the bones and muscles, avoid sports injuries, and achieve the best results in exercise. Therefore, hot hands are also the first procedure that must be passed before practice. There are three ways to practice the above-mentioned hot hand exercises: the first is the pure wrist exercise with the tail finger grip (but not too tight) of the small drum stick (the time should not be too long, because it will lead to muscle tension). The second is the normal grip posture. Third, keep your hands in a normal posture, practice only at the speed of your fingers, and don't move your wrists. This exercise method is to train the sensitivity of fingers and enhance their muscle strength. It can be of great help in the speed skills in the future. Because speed is a very important part in hitting skills. As far as speed is concerned, fingers occupy a very important position. Please pay attention to the stability of the beat and the balance of the left and right hands when practicing. This technology is made by? b？ Answer? B's exchange cycle exercise (so that both hands can be used as initial balance exercises)! ! And please pay attention to the height of your left and right hands, and don't differ too much. Hit the position as close as possible (timbre requirements). Pay special attention to no pressure! ! Finally, please use the metronome, from slow to fast.
Basic management: A: General methods. B: the technique of changing shape. On the basis of 16 radical, there are four basic types of variation (as shown above). If it is four open (rhythm 1. ) as a basic structure analysis (rhythm 1234), first of all, we should pay attention to the corresponding relationship and position of the other three rhythm types and the quartzite (as shown by the red line). In this way, we can clearly understand the relationship between points and play the correct rhythm more accurately. When practicing, start from the fourth opening. Practice the technique of A first, and then practice the technique of B until you can play the quarto smoothly, and then continue other types of rhythms. When practicing other rhythm types, you can first sing the quartet based on the digital concept of 1234, and play the correct position of each rhythm type. In the same way, practice a skill first and then b skill. (2.3.4. The derivation of rhythm A technique is also based on the corresponding position of the quartet). Wait until the position techniques of the four rhythm types are clear! Then, in the way of arrangement and combination, with two rhythms as a group and 4/4 beats as bars, practice alternately and repeatedly. Then, repeat the rhythm. Finally, combine the four rhythms and exchange the order of practice at will. As long as these four rhythm types can be practiced as correct techniques and rhythms as reflex movements, I believe that when you encounter more complicated rhythm types in the future! ! You can use the same practice methods and patterns to solve the problems you encounter. Because the relationship between notes is nothing more than the calculation of the most basic mathematical relationship. Don't forget to use the metronome and start practicing at the slowest speed! !
Strength exercises 1. Fade-in exercise: Usually, when people see Yan characters, they will immediately react with fear, which is manifested in music. But usually this reaction will affect the whole song. Resulting in insufficient tension or excessive tension. Therefore, how to increase or decrease the intensity is an important part of the music tension. In practice, 4/4 beats are measured on the basis of 4 heritages. Exercise 8 bars, 6 bars, 4 bars, 2 bars, 1 bar, etc. Strength exercises as repetitive units. Practice as quietly as possible and as loudly as possible. The key point that must be paid attention to is to make people hold their breath and concentrate on exaggeration. 2. Exercises with different strengths: 4/4 beats as the measuring unit and 4 heritages as the basis. Exercise 6. Repeated exercises with different intensities. The strength unit is ff > f & gtmf & gtmp & gtp & gtpp. Then from PP
Introduction to drum set: hardware preparation
A. a high-quality fake drum practice mat
Quiet, portable, direct sound. The dumb drum pad is a tool that you must rely on when you start learning to play drums. It allows you to practice anytime, anywhere. It allows you to find the strength of your hands and form excellent hand skills. Almost all the world-class masters started with dumb drum mats.
A good electronic metronome
The most important duty of a drummer is to keep the beat steady, neither too fast nor too slow, neither too much nor too little. People's mood is unstable, so we must practice strictly with the metronome. The metronome is the source of drummer's life, which is essential!
A pair of high quality drums.
Needless to say, function. It is recommended to use a better drum stick. A good drum stick is very important for beginners, which directly affects the drummer's feel and the subsequent way of exerting power. There are many kinds of drums and sticks. For beginners, it is recommended to use 5A or 5 B, which is moderate in weight and suitable for practice.
D. A drum stool with adjustable height
Drummers are sitting, and long-term sitting posture will increase the pressure on their backs. A good drum stool can protect the drummer's lumbar spine and muscles, so that you can practice sitting posture for a long time calmly. When choosing a drum stool, we should pay attention to three factors: stability, comfort and adjustability.
The above four items are basic configurations. Of course, you can buy a set of drum sets at first, but it is of little use to beginners to practice. The most important task for beginners is to lay a good foundation, not to practice a fragmented rhythm on the drum set.
Software preparation
A. About finding a teacher
If conditions permit, it is strongly recommended to start learning with a professional teacher. The teacher will give you the posture of drumming, the way of exerting strength, the points to pay attention to when practicing, and so on. These are also found in some textbooks, but the teacher's words and deeds can find your problems, correct your mistakes and put you on the right path. It is undeniable that many people can teach themselves, but those who teach themselves completely have gone through some detours more or less and wasted their efforts. So find a reliable teacher, at least let the teacher take you in first.
About your psychology
Drumming is a relaxing and enjoyable activity, but learning drumming is a bit monotonous, especially in the novice stage, which requires a lot of time to practice the basic rhythm repeatedly, which is very boring and requires concentration, patience and perseverance. Therefore, before learning to play drums, we should be fully psychologically prepared, have a clear goal, and have a firm belief.
some advice
With the above preparations, we can start. In the process of beginners' practice, there are several points that need special attention.
A. Stability
? The martial arts in the world are fast and unbreakable? This sentence does not apply to drumming. The first requirement of drumming is stability, the second is stability and the third is stability. Only on the basis of stability can we pursue speed, flowers and rhythm. Stability requires each drummer to spend a lot of time on deliberate training. The best way to practice is to turn on the metronome!
In addition, practice step by step, not just fast. You should lay a solid floor, and then build a second floor.
B. Thinking
The quality of practice is far more important than the quantity of practice. If you practice without a purpose, follow your feelings every day and practice whatever you think, which will often lead to familiarity with what you have practiced, that is, you will often wander about what you have mastered, so that even if you practice exhausted every day, you will not make any progress. When practicing, you should make a good plan, always think about your weaknesses and come up with solutions.
C. communication
Actively communicate with drummers around you, learn their understanding of drums, learn their skills and methods, and find and correct their own problems in the process of communication. Extensive communication is equivalent to finding teachers of different styles for yourself. Remember, playing drums is not your business alone.
Brief introduction of drum set
1. Don't pursue speed. No matter what kind of exercises you do, a relaxed and stable rhythm is the most important thing.
Myth: Beginners like to hit from slow to fast when doing single jump exercises. When reaching the maximum speed, it is often achieved through the spasm of the arm muscles, which is a bad habit.
The correct method: whether it is single jump, double jump, compound jump, rolling and pressing. You need to practice with a metronome. Cultivate the good habit of playing by the beat.
Note: How to find the appropriate practice speed.
When you do a sport, you can persist for 30 minutes without feeling tired. This is your maximum speed limit. If you feel tired of your arms and wrists after practicing for a few minutes, slow down and practice until you find this limit speed. After a week, you will find that your limit speed has increased.
Drummers, not manual workers. Only amateur drummers have arm spasms after a concert.
2. Strength is not equal to strength.
Some beginners, when playing with a band, the audience can hardly hear the sound of other instruments. The quality of the drum itself has certain factors, and the main reason is the drummer itself.
Take out15 of the practice time and practice with the weakest voice possible. After a while, you will find that your accent is clearer and more granular. Go on, you'll break free? Noise drummer? .
3. The standards that novices need to meet.
120 beats 32 minutes for single jump, 120 beats 64 minutes for double jump, and 30 minutes is not tiring.
Practice the rhythm according to the metronome, and turn off the metronome volume by half. Open it again in 3-5 minutes. Basically can be in tune.
4. What beginners need to remember:
Drums are musical instruments, not noise tools.
A mature drummer can lead a band, not follow others.
