Summary: Anyone who has ever been in a band or who has at least tried to put one together knows that it is very difficult to find a good drummer. Drums are loud and mastering the drums takes a lot of time, patience and practice ... which is why good drummers are hard to find. A drummer is more than just a time keeper, the drummer sets the mood of the song, holds the rhythm section together, controls dynamics, and provides an element of creativity no other instrument can provide. But to do any of that, a drummer must learn the basics ... and then practice, practice, practice!

In this free percussion tutorial video series, watch as professional percussionist teaches advanced drum lessons. Learn how to do various drumming techniques like: approach, rebound, rudimental breakdowns, diddles, paradiddles, flam and flam, herta, pud-a-duh, natural sticking, alternative sticking, polyrhythms, 3 over 2 with accents, and 4 over 3 with accents. Just like every piano player needs to practice his scales to improve, every drummer must practice his rudimental breakdowns in order to become better. So sharpen your form and become the best drummer you can be with the help of this free video from Expert Village!
