www.Drumming4Beginners.com Hello and welcome to Drum lessons for beginners - episode 1.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com In today's podcast we'll talk about what's important when starting to learn drums.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com My goal is to steer you into the right direction

www.Drumming4Beginners.com and make your learning experience as smooth and frustration free as possible.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com But first, let's be honest.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Drums are Not an easy instrument!

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Whether you want to learn them seriously or just want to have fun,

www.Drumming4Beginners.com it's important that you approach the subject with the right attitude.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Drums are not easy and if anyone tells you differently, they're lying.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com I have seen too many beginners handicap themselves from the very start

www.Drumming4Beginners.com because of the wrong approach.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com This usually translates into discouragement, frustration and, ultimately, resignation.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com And I don't want this to happen to you.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com What does it take to learn drums?

www.Drumming4Beginners.com There are three main requirements:

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Good instructions

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Commitment

www.Drumming4Beginners.com and realistic expectations

www.Drumming4Beginners.com I know I'm talking a lot about how learning drums is not easy,

www.Drumming4Beginners.com but with the right approach you can definitely make it much easier.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com It's all in the right approach.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com The right approach means a solid, realistic and committed plan.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com In other words - well-structured lessons.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Every time you sit down to learn, you need a very clear concept of what you're going to do.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com One of the biggest mistakes novices make is that they search for tidbits of information

www.Drumming4Beginners.com all over the internet and learn a bit here and a bit there.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com That is not what I call a well-structured learning plan.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com It's actually a surefire way to develop bad habits and eventually get discouraged.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com My advice - don't do it.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Far better way is to find quality lessons and stick with them.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com This will pay big dividends in terms of improving your skills and saving your time.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com You will definitely learn faster and better.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com The only question is. Where to find quality lessons?

www.Drumming4Beginners.com I have certainly seen my share of drum lessons, from books, to DVDs, online lessons, and software.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com I can say without hesitation that most of them don't deliver what they promise.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Luckily, there are a few exceptions.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com If you want my recommendation, here it is:

www.Drumming4Beginners.com Learn & Master Drums with Dann Sherrill

www.Drumming4Beginners.com This is the most comprehensive drum course that I have seen so far and is

www.Drumming4Beginners.com what I recommend to all aspiring drummers.

www.Drumming4Beginners.com The bottom line:

www.Drumming4Beginners.com then don't waste anymore of your time looking for tidbits of information all over the internet.
