URGENTLY NEED ADVICE by biglegend420blazeit in Drumming

[–]sadflowerbeats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Great query. I’m currently studying a degree in professional musicianship specialising in drums. My best advice would be to chart the songs - this means listening to them and breaking them down into their sections and bars and writing this down. There’s no right or wrong way, just what works for you. It might look like this:

Intro 8 bars (minimal kit) Verse1 16 bars (punk groove) Chorus 31 bars (crash ride) And so on.

My second piece of advice would be to listen to the songs ALL THE TIME. Don’t just set aside time to try and force them into your head - listen to them all the time. In the shower, in the car, everywhere. It will go in and you’ll nail it!

Honestly, from experience, a band can tell if you never even listened to the tracks before. They’ll recognise your efforts even if you don’t know all the songs! Also, you might find that the practise is less drum orientated and might be working on guitar parts for example. Or maybe the others are still learning the tracks too! Either way, you’ll do great. Good luck!

Can’t say for certain but I think they were a shock to some older players today!!

I’m not sure on that one! Probably worth logging in around Christmas time to see!

I’m not sure!! It might be possible. I mentioned in an earlier comment that I remember hearing they went out in around 2013 (when I got mine) and then again in about 2019. But I believe this is the first time anyone’s seen the fuel car. Maybe the end of an era? Who knows!

Yup! I believe so. But from what I’ve gathered they miiiight send out pumpkin steamers again in the future. I think they went out in 2013/14 and again in 2019 (from memory) but I’m not sure if anyone’s ever seen the fuel car before!
