Mark Chipello is the drummer for the singer Tyrone Wells. He gives TVLesson a quick lesson on how to play drums. An important fact you should note on playing drums is that the whole purpose of a drummer is to keep rhythm. It doesn’t matter how good you are at fills or on how amazing your beats are. As long as you keep a consistent rhythm you are a great drummer.
Transcription So the next thing I’m going to talk about is some basic exercises that can help build up muscle memory to play a drum set. So the first thing we have is called 8 on a hand. And were just playing 8th notes at an even tempo and were going to try to play with even intensity. So try to work on a smooth consistent sound and tempo. And if you notice, we see rebound I’m driving the stick into the head and then I’m letting it come back on its own so its relax its fluid and I’m not using my arm it’s not stiff.. It’s a wrist motion from this exercise. It’s a wrist exercise. That’s what the drum is all about. You use mostly your wrists. That’s the first exercise. Another thing I’m going to show you a double stroke roll. It’s going to be two strokes on each hand. So key again is consistent timing and relaxed. Timing will come with practice. That’s the double stroke drum roll. It all starts off here with consistent timing.
