There are few tips to practice the
Drum Effectively:
- Take
your time:
When you are learning something new,
it takes time to practice. Even you think you are able to play it well,
practice it with a slower beat and make sure you’re doing right. Repeat the
same beat for few hours which makes you getting smoother with the skills.
- Count out loud:
Do not feel shy to count out loud
while you’re playing drum. It is a good way to check whether you’re on the
right beats and rhythms or not. If the beats you’re playing doesn’t match with
your counting, which means you’re slower or faster than the origin beats.
- Sit up straight - Be
ready to play
It is essential to make a right way,
sit properly and straight when you’re ready to play your music instrument. It
is not only good for you body, but also helping you to focus on what are you
doing. You will play smoothly when you’re ready well.
- Use a Metronome
Metronome is a very good “guidance”
for music players. It is an electronic device that measure the beats per
second/minute (Kraemer, n.d.). By using Metronome, drummer has a proper beat to
practice with.
- Set a
practice routine
Practice never ends. The more you
practice, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more you gain.
