An article about: Drumming Lesson
I played in band growing up, and let me tell you, the percussion that you learn in band is alright, but it isn’t really enough to get you far. You won’t learn enough to find your way around a kit unless you begin with a drum lesson outside of school. Otherwise, you’ll learn stick control, fundamentals, and nothing else, and that won’t get you anywhere.

Popular Music
Popular Music Directory
Popular music is music belonging to any of a number of musical styles that are accessible to the general public and are disseminated by one or more of the mass media. It stands in contrast to art music,[ which historically was the music of the elite and upper strata of society, and traditional music which was disseminated orally.It is sometimes abbreviated to pop music, although pop music is more often taken as meaning the genre of pop, rather than popular music as a whole.

A Successful Band Needs Direction First
It takes more than a group of good musicians to make a successful band. Besides musicianship there are many other factors that affect the success of a group. Today I would like to outline some of them so that you may avoid the pitfalls and problems that all bands face when trying to achieve success.
To start with, I would like to talk about group direction. Before anyone in the group even thinks about picking up their instrument, the direction of the group should be discussed and agreed upon. There are a few different directions a band can go. A ‘60/40’ group is one that plays approximately 60% old pop standards and 40% ‘top 40’ tunes. A band heading in this direction will play most of its gigs at dances, hotels, weddings etc. and can be assured of a steady income. Recognition for a band like this will probably be restricted to a local level.
Choosing a
style of music that everyone in the band enjoys is a must. To gauge the popularity of different styles and to get a feel for which genre you would like to play in, it would be a good idea to listen to other established groups playing live . Once you have decided upon a style, stick to it. You will notice that your crowd will get smaller because you are playing to a niche market; but you need to remember that you can’t please everyone and it is far better to give really pleasing shows to a select group than average shows to many.

You’ve seen those rock drummers on stage and in videos. Their impressive array includes a half a dozen cymbals or more, at least that many toms, maybe a double base, and perhaps some things you’ve never seen before. How in the world did they learn to incorporate all those musical instruments into their playing? The answer is simple, they started small.
