The Famous Instrument: Drums Drums Drums Drums
We all know what drums is. right?! Personally speaking, i've loved this instrument because it combined music and energy! I used to be 15 years old when i started to learn playing, that's why it was (for me in that old time) both learning some cool music and releasing some hidden "inner energy". My drums teacher was russian speaking a cool mixture of English, Arabic and Russian. He had taught me lots of interesting skills and useful fills, although i was playing nervously so it had taken me sometime to master some cool stuff.
Anyway, on this page, i am going to organize its contents into 2 parts: a very brief explanation about Drums (the regular one, not that of professionals) and then i will include some rhythms/beats (both the traditional ones and my composed stuff).
As a start, here is my Drumset: a small thumbnail will do (in case you're not interested)

I took this photo and the next one after i managed to assemble my drumset from the package (in august 2000). As you might have noticed, i wasn't able to fix the bass-drum pedal in its position. |
Isn't it cute?? |
How about now? yeah, it is older.. this is a current photo.. i put the sheets under the drumheads to make less noise while playing.. |
I decided to split the two parts i've mentioned into 2 pages, in the following 2 links:
Cool Beats of some music styles (including rock, blues...)
