Does it have anything to do with MIDI?
Recently bought a midi keyboard and have midi drum kits

p.s. "learn to play drums in 4 lessons".. okay but I am a drummer and it took me a little longer than that ;-)

Guess it depends on how long each lesson lasts!

Well, the first issue is, that a nice long lesson will give blisters on the fingers...

Need thick skinned farmer hands :-)

No, all is done with wav files coupled with a endless sine wave.

Huh. of course. I am a drummer too but I have to say that (long time ago) the trick to count loud 1, 2, 3, 4, place the bass on 1, snare on 3 and closed hat on 1, 2, 3, 4 was the beginning of all.

I did begin drums-set with 2 wood sticks, the ground as bass-drum, a table as snare and a glass for hat.

@ beginners, if you can do the lesson 3, you are on the way to become drummer.

Huh, yes, we mans have much more difficulty than women to synchronize our feeds with hands. (But some say that when we get it, we are more creative).

Thanks to try StrumPract.

Sincerely, I never found somebody who can do the lesson 3 directly.

But, that is the magic of humans, if you do it slowly, try to do 4 loops without errors and still counting loud, (+- 5 minutes), the next day, after a night of dreaming 1,2,3,4, you should do it directly and follow tunes.

And you have all your life to improve yourself.

AFAIK it is informally called "backbeat"
The basic rock beat of all.

And ...

"Backbeat is a 1994 Anglo-German drama film directed by Iain Softley. It chronicles the early days of the Beatles in Hamburg, Germany."

I have tought a few women to play drum basics (small sessions, nothing serious) and found they are pretty much the same as men in making mistakes learning, but, not enough scientific evidence for a study ;-)

Would be an interesting science study: the ability to learn multi tasking instruments: brain science. Man vs woman.

When I get an a.d.d. threaded opportunity!

Have a laptop sitting waiting to try installing bsd on soon

Many thanks for that info, I did not know (and I like the word, something to do with that... ;-) )

I will watch it now, thanks.

Of course I talk about my experience (and the difference, for beginners, was clear). Also it seems to me that woman are better metronome than man.

But it is absolutely subjective (maybe because I love to play with woman-drummer).
