Drum Lessons-1
Many drummers are "ear-trained". They learn to play drums by listening to music and playing to it, many times mimicking it. They also form garage bands and learn by doing. While there's nothing wrong with this type of training for the ear, many drummers never learn to read. Thus, for many, a career as a free-lance musician is denied them (particularly studio recording), unless they "make it" in a band.
Reading music is fundamental to a well-rounded musical approach. We take it for granted in this age of easy recording, but remember that recorded music is a 20th century invention. Before that, most music had to be "recorded" by writing it down on paper. We've gotten a bit lazy because of our technology.
This page hopes to give the beginning reader some of the fundamentals of reading music. It is not meant to be a final statement. A lifetime of study and practice is required to become proficient, particularly at sight-reading - the ability to play music that's put in front of you for the first time (like Miles' musicians did on KIND OF BLUE). The student is encouraged to buy some music books and take a few lessons.
