At the end, got it at my level !!!
Hello, I’m a 40y/o total beginner, a little doing things upside down, playing with groups to learn music and to advance more than music course. Even if I don’t have a drum at home, I imitate in front of computer, and in music class, I got to the same level as here, because I practice. In real music course it’s not possible to reach a goal as you need to play again and again to understand it, and no one have a 2h a week course, except me: 30 min official course, 1h30 me alone training for group play. I finally understood how to use those sticks for group course, so they stopped shouting that I don’t know at all and started saying that I play very well. I’ll have to practice more as it’s not in a course but you need lots of energy to get to the end, aim is more then 3 songs, it’s oldies 1960-1970, and just 4 notes in a loop each, so it’s reachable, but to be able to do them, had to add in my mind many experiences, your music course, plus my music course, plus what I hear the other 2 professors doing in group (still at feet hear, but will improve it, I need experience). Although my memory is not good at my age, I did reach my first aim, become playable and wanted. Thanks to my 4 professors !!! Françoise, from France !
