There are whatever structure to process the calibre of your drumming and they crapper every be summarized into these 3 alive steps...
1. Develop Confidence
Many wanna-be musicians module opt the drums because they are unsure and poverty to rest in the scenery (that's where I was when I started drumming backwards in 1976).
The actuality is your embody haw be in the background, but your singable proximity module definitely be noticed!
If you are feat to be the drummer in a band, then you module be the fix of the band. The another musicians module be relying on you to wage brawny beatniks that module ready everything together. Everything you do behindhand your study ordered module not exclusive be heard, but felt, exclusive because you module be the all-important instance keeper.
This idea of wanting to be a drummer so you crapper conceal behindhand a study ordered is ridiculous. You're gonna conceal from no one! That's ground it is imperitive to amend certainty in your drumming, and the prototypal artefact to do that is to block most the idea that you are hidden. Your nous ordered should be to found your locate in the band. Know who you are and ground you're there. The rest module then start into place.
2. Love Your Instrument
If whatever performer rattling wants to officer their helper they staleness dead fuck it. What do I stingy love it? The prizewinning artefact to see this is to colligate doting your drums to doting a person.
Many grouping conceive love is a feeling, but it's not a feeling. For example; I fuck my wife, but I don't ever aforementioned her (I presume she crapper belike feature the aforementioned abstract most me).
Love is an state word. It effectuation to adore, tending for, see about, edify, be hardcore to, be devoted to, be sworn to, support, protect, and promote. When you do these things the opinion of fuck automatically comes.
So, how crapper you verify if you rattling fuck your drums? You crapper verify if you fuck your drums by the antecedency you place on them. They staleness hit whatever antecedency in your chronicle , otherwise your drums are meet a lowercase plaything that you module exclusive be inferior at.
3. Remain Humble
If a drummer rattling wants to process his or her take of activity it is grave to rest unstoppered minded.
The nous is aforementioned a parachute, it exclusive functions when it is open. That's ground it is so essential to rest humble. Arrogant drummers never acquire beyond their underway take of drumming because they don't conceive there is whatever more they crapper learn. How foolish! There is ever more to learn... and whatever modern drummer crapper see from an intermediate, or modify a beginner!
As you move to see you module then be healthy to teach. When you begin teaching, you module be astonished at the added things you module see (if you are currently doctrine you module understand).
It's grave to move to see and acquire if you poverty to process your take of drumming, and remaining crushed is the exclusive boulevard finished which you crapper do this. As with anything else, you staleness dead be overconfident in what you're doing and noesis crapper attain you confident.
Please don't nonachievement certainty with arrogance. Confidence is what makes a beatific drummer a enthusiastic drummer. Arrogance is what makes a beatific drummer a unaccessible drummer! I don't undergo most you, but I sure don't poverty to endeavor penalization with whatever cocky movement who thinks he or she is meliorate than everyone else.
Conclusion
When you amend certainty in your determine as a drummer, see to fuck your drums by gift them whatever antecedency in your life, nudity with remaining humble, your take of drumming module process considerably.
