How to Play the Drums: Free Online Music Lessons for Beginners

The backbone of any modern band is always the drummer. A band can function without a guitarist, a bassist, or even a singer, but without a drummer most modern music feels severely lacking. Originally used for communication rather than music, drums are the world s oldest instrument, and their design has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. This set of videos will give you a crash course in playing the drums. Covering both beginner and intermediate topics, our expert is sure to have a tip for drummers of all abilities.

Although unlike many other instruments, anyone can sit down at a drum set and make sounds, being able to truly play the drums is a skill that requires a lot of time and practice. In this series our Expert will teach you different methods for improving your drum skills. You will learn techniques for playing the normal parts of a drum kit such as the snare, the toms, the cymbals and the bass drum, and you will also learn how to play some more advanced pieces such as roto toms and the double bass.
