This article will discuss how to be the best drummer in the world. It’s a pretty lengthy article, but if you stick with it will be worth it.
It’s an attempt to explain exactly what it means to be the best and why some people are successful while others are not. Most importantly, it will be more than just a theory about how to be a good drummer.
It will be a manual on how to become one.
Who is the best drummer in the world?
This is a straightforward question. The best drummer in the world is David Garibaldi.
Not to be confused with the former drummer of Santana, David Garibaldi has won awards and is in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. He was one of Frank Zappa’s Wacko Zoo’s main stars, one of the biggest bands in the 70s.
They were also known for singing a song called ‘Lydia The Tattooed Lady.’ Yeah, that’s right.
David Garibaldi is considered to be the best because of the kind of player he was. One of his greatest skills was his ability to perform with any genre, even when it was completely different from the music he played. In the early 1970s, most jazz bands used synthesizers instead of acoustic instruments, and David Garibaldi was one of the best.
People had never seen a jazz player playing with synthesizers before, but he was the first one. He can also play jazz when you’re trying to make a punk rock record.
Pick an instrument
It starts with picking a musical instrument. Let’s say you want to learn to play the drums.
Why don’t you go out and find a brand that’s about to play at a club and see if you can get an audition with them?
It’s not easy to get an audition in the music world, but you might have an opportunity if you’re in a college band. The big concerts usually have drummers who the music department chooses, and then it’s up to the audition panel to decide.
You may be surprised how many bands and radio stations ask you to submit videos of yourself drumming.
When you audition for a band, they’re just going to see the skill level and see how you can fit in with the other players.
You may have to show them where you can stand, where you can put your fingers on the drum, how you use your sticks, and all the things you need to know to be an excellent drummer.
You want to practice what they want you to practice and do it quickly. That will give you the best chance of getting that spot.
You don’t need to impress them with your musical ability. If they’re paying attention to the player in front of them, they won’t care about the drumming.
They may want you to play in more complex tempos or with more notes than you’ve ever played before, and that’s what you need to do. You can’t be the best if you’re only capable of doing a little bit more.
Keep the tempo going
If the band wants to do 5/4, you need to play 5/4. You must understand all the different tempos in the band. The band is going to give you a basic drum set, so you need to know-how
to play the smaller drums, and then you’re going to play the big drums, so you’re learning a lot in a short amount of time.
It can be really frustrating at first, but that’s the way drummers develop and get better. If you want to make the most of your talent, you need to put in the time.
During practice, you will make the difference between just being able to perform and being an excellent drummer.
If you can’t use a click track properly, your hands will shake, you won’t feel comfortable, and you’ll lose your timing, so practice the basic rhythms.
Choose simple rhythms, and at the same time use the practice drum kit to go over the rhythms and beats. Learn how to play 3/4, 2/4, and 5/4. Work on it on different parts of the kit, and you’ll see
the improvement in the speed and rhythm as you practice and get more familiar with it.
Be patient with yourself
There are many great drummers out there, and there are a lot of drummers who don’t get that far. Some people who try out for the bands sometimes are rejected because they can’t stick to a simple beat, and they need more time.
Don’t be discouraged if you’re rejected because it happens all the time. It’s not easy to make it to the top in the music world, but you can keep trying.
Your parents may try to tell you to follow in their footsteps and become successful like them. They may also try to tell you that you should go to college, finish your education, get a job, and work your way up the ladder.
But, you should know that this won’t get you to the top. You have to go your own way and find your own way.
Practice consistently
If you want to play with the best, you should expect to be consistent in your practice. This is usually a good rule of thumb, but it is important to note that some people practice harder than others.
If you have a high volume of practice per week and no distractions, then you are more likely to produce a high output. If you have a busy work schedule, you should be spending less time practicing, but also, it would be better to leave yourself a lot more time for practice than to schedule a little and fail.
Consistency in practice will pay off because not only will you produce better results, but the average listener will notice how much better you are when you practice.
