Keeping Time With Music What separates Incredible Drummers From Mediocre Ones
One thing separates Great drummers from Mediocre ones.
Keeping Time With Music.
Whether you are a Drummer yourself, or someone who plays with them, you know that holding a constant time and tempo is the most important thing in the world.
You can do the most incredible fills in the world, and be as fancy as you like, but if you can't keep time, your music will Sound like Crap. Plus, no one will want to play with you.
How do I learn to keep tempo?
Well, there IS a few ways to do it. Some people swear by playing drums with a Metronome. But I have a better way.
Put on your Damn Blaring headphones, and just Play Along
There really is no better way to learn to keep tempo.
If you use this technique, you can successfully learn to stop Speeding up and Slowing Down, You will learn the Drums to your Favorite artist, and best of all You will be Having Fun.
Why hasn't anyone else figured this out?
....................................THEY HAVE!
I really don't know of very many great Drummers who haven't slapped on their ear buds and worked past their inability to keep a solid beat.
I mean, there is the odd, extremely talented musician who just is really good at keeping time.
Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
