How good is your limb coordination and patience?

Some things are not entirely dependent on talent... Learning to play the drums requires hard practice. This is a physical job

But you are just doing small performances and singing covers. It’s not a big problem if you play other people’s songs and play them in school

Take one to two months to open up your wrists, then memorize the rhythm pattern, put on the drum set and practice the coordination of your hands and feet. Generally speaking, you can handle pop songs.

Generally speaking, if you don’t have good music theory, it won’t be a big problem, unless you want to pick up the tape yourself or create a song.

If you know simplified musical notation, drum music will be fine. It’s easy to recognize

Drumming is not a difficult thing to get started with, just to fool a layman

But if you really want to learn it, you still need to put in a lot of effort

Taking the wrist work as an example, it is definitely physical work, there is no shortcut, just practice, practice every day, speed, strength, accuracy

Of course there are still skills, such as Double jumps, compound jumps, rolls, you can learn these things slowly after you open your wrist

Also, learn more about the drum, it is your weapon and your partner

Listen to the timbres of different drums and learn to adjust the timbre yourself

Learn more about cymbals, size, timbre, style, etc.

Interest is the best teacher

< p>Listen to more songs and pay attention to the drum beats. It is best to reach the state where you can only hear the drum beats when listening to songs, which is very helpful for learning rhythm patterns

It is still possible to play with a drum of about 1000

My personal suggestion is not to buy one that is too bad, as it will not be of any benefit to the overall learning

About "how to choose a drum for beginners" is a headache for many drummers in China who are not financially wealthy.

When I was in Chongqing, I only used a set of "Jinbao" for several years. Now I realize that the price paid for doing so is very high.

In short, how to choose a set of percussion instruments that suits you first requires you to determine a position for your development: are you going to be a professional drummer, or are you trying to see if you can play drums, or are you just On a whim?

1: If you just like music and want to try whether you can play drums, and then decide whether to become a real drummer, then there is no need for you to buy it. Because even a second-hand "Jinbao" set often costs several hundred yuan.

2: If you just want to learn on a whim, please think calmly: Will I still be able to treat my drum with the same passion as now in 5 years? If the answer is "Yes!", Well, please refer to Article 3. If it’s “not necessarily”, then just find a place where you can play drums and deal with it first, because blindly buying drums will cost you dearly.

3: For those who want to become a real drummer, you should choose a good friend among "Pearl", "TAMA" or "MAPEX" that makes you truly obsessed.

If an ordinary set of drums is well maintained, it can last you for 5 years. You can practice a lot of rhythm and basic skills on it. Including those drum master tricks that will make you drool.

But please believe me, after five years, you will basically be useless.

From the posture of playing the drum, the attention to the drum sound, the feel, and the understanding of the drum - ordinary drums can train you to be useless in five years.

If you are willing to spend five years to destroy yourself and finally give up, or spend the same money to buy a real drum set and then spend five years to correct what you have practiced on ordinary drums. If there are a bunch of "errors", you can ignore the following paragraphs.

Now we analyze the mid-range drums worthy of drummers’ choice in terms of price and performance:

“Pearl” drums are the best-selling brand in the world, and they have the best production in the world. Craftsmanship and professionalism. Moreover, after being represented by "Zhongyin" company, we can buy the "Pearl" drum set that can be used with confidence at a suitable price.

The following models of "Pearl" should be suitable for you to choose:

"Rhythm Traveler": The "Alto" is insured at RMB 3,888, including: a snare drum, Two toms, one floor tom, one pedal, three cymbals (made by "Pearl" from a manufacturer specializing in the production of cymbals) (two 14-inch hi-hats, one 18-inch crash cymbal), pedal One cymbal stand, one crash cymbal stand, one snare stand, and two tom stands. It also comes with drum sticks and other gadgets.

Performance: Although it is the most low-end product of "Pearl", it is the product of the world's number one brand after all. Its biggest advantage is portability. Although it has a muffler function, with the popularity of dumb drum heads, this is no longer a feature. Its production process is impeccable, but due to the shortened depth of the drum shell for portability, the sound quality is inferior compared to other models of "Pearl".

"Target" series:": "Alto" is guaranteed at RMB 3,388, including: one snare drum, two toms, one floor tom, one pedal, and cymbals (provided by "Pearl "Find three cymbals (two 14-inch hi-hats and one 18-inch crash cymbal) produced by a manufacturer that specializes in the production of cymbals, one hi-hat stand, one crash cymbal stand, one snare stand, and two tom stands.

It also comes with drum sticks and other gadgets.

Performance: Although it is also the most low-end product of "Pearl", it is the product of the world's number one brand after all. Its biggest advantage is that it is cheap. Its hardware is one model lower than the "Rhythm Traveler", but due to the deep shell and double-layer skin, its adjustability is greatly increased, and its tone will be more delicate and moving. It is produced specifically for the Chinese market.

Fx, Ex, and Elx series: This may be a little too expensive for everyone, because their online quotations are not only high, but they also come without hardware, and there are no free cymbals... Here they are. I won’t go into details (American brand, Japanese research and development—all produced in Taiwan).

TAMA's sw series: ordinary five-tom configuration (same as "Pearl"'s "target"), the lowest online price is 4,700 yuan, without cymbals. The performance is better than "Target" and "Rhythm Traveler" (both of which are more expensive). Its configuration belongs to TAMA's lowest configuration (Japanese brand - all made in Taiwan).

The low-end model of "MAPEX" is also good. It is an authentic domestic product (made in Taiwan), and the high-end model is enough to compete with "DW" and the two brands mentioned above. Its low-end models seem to be called "V" series.

"SABIAN" is a cymbal made in Canada. It is a new brand established in Canada by the partners of the original "ZILDJIAN". Among the cymbals, the B8 series is a very cost-effective series, with many models. There are 3-piece sets (two hi-hats, one crash cymbal), two-piece sets (two special effect cymbals), and 4-piece sets (a 3-piece set plus a ride cymbal), etc. The price is 1700~1900 (pack of 4 pieces).

"Kang" cymbals are produced in Wuhan, and the price is less than 900 yuan. They come in a pack of four. It is really a poor choice. This brand is now used by "Taverns" in Chengdu. It has been used for several years and has been used by China. The drummer has been ruined until now and has not been broken yet - durable.

“BASIX”: A brand with German technology investment in China. The high-end drum sets are usable, but they are also expensive.

The above introduction is what is available in China and is the minimum configuration for a traditional professional drummer.

The following is the drum set:

If you have 3,500 yuan: buy "Pearl" and go to "Target"! That thing is worth it, and the cymbals are better than any cymbals made in China (at least more suitable for your practice). There are stools, drum sticks, teaching materials and other miscellaneous things given to you, take good care of them.

If you have 4,000 yuan and want to practice basic skills at home alone, buy the "Rhythm Traveler"! It is absolutely easy to dismantle and carry, and it is light and easy to carry around. With cymbals. No more spending money on accessories.

If you have 6,000 yuan: buy a TAMAsw five-drum set with a "Sabian" B8 set of cymbals, or a "Pearl" fx series with a "Sabian" B8 set of cymbals.

It is definitely enough for any performance you want to do.

If you are a nouveau riche and have enough money: "Pearl" Elx825, add "Sabian" HH series cymbals, add TAMAhp900tw double pedals or Pearl's 2002c double pedals, single with a " Pearl" or "TAMA" signature snare drum----This is the drum configuration of the Chinese drum...
