How To Play The Drums
Video Overview & Insights
We wanted to give all the brand-new drummers something fun to practice. Even if you don’t have a kit, you can start playing the drums right now!
You’ll learn how to hold your drumsticks, set up your drum set for maximum comfort, and play your very first beat and fill. By the end of the video, you’ll be playing along to your first song!

Good job
What kind of note is this?
Is this 4/4?

Another thing I'd like to add!
Before sitting down to play/practice, make sure to properly stretch your body, like before working out, less chance for injury 🤘💪

Thank you so much, you have the only beginner lesson that mentions to press the high hat. I had no idea!! I mean... now that I hear the difference I don't know why I didn't know...... I just thought I was horrible

Great video, but "Even if you don’t have a kit, you can start playing the drums right now!" proceeds to tell you how to set up your drum kit :-)

some useless tip. if you want to play faster just adjust the speed to 2.0 = D

After three different videos and a couple of days, I still can not get the foot and both hands at the same time. once the snare comes in I got to quit the foot or I can start the foot but then got to take one of the others out. Is there anything easier or at this point should I just go back to guitar and djing and give this up?
@DJMerckThanks Brandon. I just bought my first practice pad and sticks, so I searched for 'first drum lesson', and the first video to pop up was a decade old drumeo video but said nothing about grip, which was what I was expecting to be in a first time video. I instantly thought "Brandon would talk about it" having watched drumeo content for the last 2 years and being used to his style. Second recommended video didn't cover it, but this was number 3, and of course Brandon brings it up. The first thing I want to play when I get my coordination figured out and get my first kit is the intro to 'Pneuma' by Tool.
@Sleepy_Js_GarageTook 3 videos to find one that talks about how to hold the stick. Including an old one from drumeo
@samuelhernandez4135This was amazing, so easy to follow and very well explained. I am just about to retire and I am thinking about getting a Digital Drum kit in The spare Room 👍👍
@stephensmith4480Thank you so, so much. This has been so helpful
@marianneberends9131i am a beginner and this is awsome.does anyone else
@AngieBusby-p7sI dont know if im being hard on myself or trying to learn too much at once, but im getting frustrated and its not becoming fun.
@stektiradefantastic
@chamindasamaranayaka2716I like it and I want to follow you
@rubenattah5136this was beyond helpful with no drumset and sticks just moving my hands and following your movements i actually learned the 5 minute workout and can now easily perform it without the video playing....
@felixblue4525BOUGHT A PAD AND STICKS AND FOUND THIS. divine intervention.
@jt.8144Can’t wait to see more.
@jesusalvarez-v1uMasterpiece.
@QuintenDeMeyer-k4cImagine this but in [location].
@nhung-d5tThis channel didnt help me. Slow down. Jfc im trying to learn. Okay start on the high hat(wtf is a high hat) okay now play a drum solo. Mf i dont even know how to play!
@kingdotenFacts.
@JakeStraw-j9gThnx bro ur really amazing teacher
@AbnerApostol-h7oI paused my music for this and it was worth it.
@DaffiYaucoYou should say "8" instead of "4". Very confusing. Beat 3 is actually beat 5. Lots of face time too. Should put camera behind instead of in front as it makes it backwards.
@grape_girlAt 62 I have always been interested in playing the drums but didn't have the opportunity when I was young. Now most of my children have moved out I have space and the time (recently retired) to learn the drums properly rather than air drums or tapping, which irritates my wife. I have found these introductory lessons a valuable start point in learning to play on my new e-kit, which has proved very enjoyable. I will be signing up for a full membership.

@huyghu-r9dSuper classes.... ❤
@ossigeno1236Wait, this is actually really helpful. I've wanted to play drums for 5-6 years, and when I got the chance to choose what instrument to play, I chose viola instead of the drums because I wanted to be with my friends. After playing viola for 4 years, I realized my love for the drums was deeper than I thought, and the moment dropped viola, I picked up on the drums. Luckily, my brother got a drum pad for Christmas that he doesn't use (he's a strings kid) and lets me use it. My mom won't buy me lessons and says if I want a drum set I have to teach myself. I'm glad you uploaded this because I'm horrendous at using my hands for two different things, let alone my legs. This honestly improved me in just a couple of minutes, and I'm grateful for teachers like you.
@Kaz_ew"you're doing great"
Me, my two pencils for the drumsticks, my table for the snare and my window for hi hat: thank you very much 😊
Thank you for this!
@xx92578xxThank you for lessons !!!
@МихаилБутко-з2е@drumeo I really enjoy your videos that being said I've had the pleasure of meet the legend Jimmy Chamberlin i been doing tile work at his house in palm springs ca. I told him he should go on Drumeo and his response was yeah they've been trying and also said Brandon is a great drum player.
