How long does it take to stop making mistakes?

However long it takes you to sit down and practice it until it’s gone. Just play slower, with a metronome, and learn how to continuously count in your head. Also get a little practice pad to work on rhythms

yeah, i got all of that stuff. i guess it's just a long process

drums is way harder than guitar. you can't mess up or the whole song is fucked

jumping rope helps a lot with instruments in general (t. guitarist and drummer). add calf raises and bridges, 4 sets to failure. workout every 48hs. if you're not getting good, then rest more, do it every 72hs.

You’re doing literally all the right steps. Just keep your eyes on the prize, and remember that it is literally as simple as practicing. You are capable of practicing and setting your mind to it, and you like drumming so why settle for any less?

last time i tried jump rope i got shin splints. i need to correct my technique

you're right. i might be impatient. i just need to enjoy the process. if i try too hard, i'll mess up more

Try playing fills very slowly and focusing less on hitting the drum and more on how you are going to approach the drum. Moving your arm from one drum to another smoothly is just as if not more important than hitting the drum itself. I think this may help with your “freezing up” situation. For example, if you’re playing a linear, single stroke fill down the snare and toms, when playing RL on the snare, your right arm should already be approaching the next tom as you’re playing L on the snare.

You’re doing good. It’s an incredibly intoxicating feeling to say things aren’t there right now but I know I will accomplish this, and then to accomplish it. It’s up to you if you want to set your mind to it or not, but promise yourself to try to your damned hardest if you do set your mind to something

>Try playing fills very slowly and focusing less on hitting the drum and more on how you are going to approach the drum.

Very interesting. I never heard of that. The body movement being more important than actually hitting the heads. I'll work on that. Makes sense in the long run.

Are you consuming enough cocaine?

its irresponsible not to consume enough cocaine.

drummer here
everyone is correct here
Play slow, with a metronome
Learn songs you want to play
RE-FUCKING-LAX while you play. There's nothing worse than tense drumming
Exercise off the drum kit to build your muscles
Learn basic rudiments
When you can, play with other musicians. It's a different feeling jamming with people vs a song or recording

>RE-FUCKING-LAX

that's a tough one when playing fast. i must resist holding my breath

>play with other musicians.
hopefully soon

In order to play fast you need to be relaxed. It's tough and counter intuitive, but supper important. Relaxing is important for all levels of play and avoiding injury.

Very useful piece of advice here as well:
Practice your leg patterns on both sides. you’ll overtime get extremely good at using both feet independently and also avoid imbalances. If you ever decide to play a double kick drum set up, you’ll also be virtually capable

oh yeah?
explain moeller

this guy's got it i personal trick of mine for playing fast, don't play harder than you need to. lots of your energy will go to hitting harder than speed

another good point, breathe while you play. that's pretty important

I will go as far as saying that playing with a recording is not even "music".

im not really worried about you.

ive been playing with early jazz / second line recordings to practice independent melodic lines / ride ostinatos
