The role of the drum metronome:
1, metronome can cultivate the concept of speed.
The most basic function of metronome is probably to determine the speed. When practicing drumming, it is very necessary for an excellent player to use it to determine the accurate speed of the music being played, so as to gradually establish a keen sense of speed.
2. Make the performance more complete and stable, and the rhythm more even.
The phenomenon of "slow difficulty, easy passage and quick progress" is widespread. Even if you practice music well, you will often have a "slip" phenomenon. The faster you play, the more chaotic you play, and you have to stop and rest everywhere.
At this time, if you can practice patiently and slowly with the metronome, you can adjust the walking code step by step after a period of time. Unconsciously, the speed of the song went up, and the speed and rhythm of playing were stable and even.
3. Concentrate on improving the efficiency of drum training.
When some children practice drumming, they often play while playing. It takes a long time to play such a short tune.
Even older students or adults who practice for a little longer will be distracted by paralysis. Using metronome can solve this problem, and its "click" sound reminds practitioners not to fall behind for a moment, and they can relax after the designated practice paragraphs are finished.

Basic playing methods of drum set
(1) Playing method of tambourine: Tambourine, also known as Little snare drum, is one of the main atonal percussion instruments in the west and a drum set. The playing posture of the snare drum is also the playing posture of the drum set.
In drum playing, because the foot needs to step on the drum and the hairpin at the same time, it is played in a sitting position. When playing, you should have a correct posture, and the upper limbs such as chest, shoulders and arms should be naturally relaxed.
When playing, the arm naturally bends and is placed on the drum surface, and the mallet is held in both hands. The second joint of the thumb and the second joint of the index finger of the right hand hold the handle of the drumstick, the third joint of the thumb and the index finger naturally come together, and the palms of the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger bend to keep a certain gap with the handle of the drumstick to control the drumstick.
The palm of the left hand is inward, the handle of the drumstick is clamped at the tiger's mouth of the thumb and forefinger, and the bottom of the drumstick is supported by the third joint of the ring finger. The other fingers naturally bend into the palm direction to hold the ball.
Master the correct mallet holding posture, and also have the correct hitting method. In training, you must remember the word percussion, that is, you must play it. After the drumstick hits the drum surface, it is necessary to immediately resume the preparatory action when beating the drum.
The action of the drum should be completed in an instant, elastic, full of vibration, bright, concentrated, powerful and powerful, and give full play to the sound effect.
Beginners should also pay attention to the position of percussion when practicing percussion, which should hit the center of the snare drum three to five centimeters. In addition, there are side attack, side attack, alternating attack, rolling and so on. You can practice with one hand first, then with two hands, or with two hands.
(2) the bass drum step method:
Hit the bass drum with your right foot. Under normal circumstances, the heel steps on the rear end of the pedal, with the ankle joint as the axis, and the forefoot steps on the pedal to drive the drumstick to hit the drum surface.
When pedaling, the muscles of thighs, calves and feet relax accordingly, and the hammer should return immediately after hitting the drum surface to form a circular pedaling action. When you play hard, you can hang your feet and tap the pedal with your toes, so that all the weight of your right leg falls on one point, thus strengthening the pedaling force and achieving the expected effect.
(3) Step on the hairpin:
Step on the hairpin and hit it with your left foot. Its main point of play is to step on the ground with the heel at the back end of the pedal, take the ankle joint as the axis, and hit the pedal with the forefoot. When the forefoot is struck, it is not necessary to return immediately, but to control the sustained sound to produce a closed acoustic effect, which is also different from the right foot drum.
(4) Drum percussion method:
The main points of drum beating are the same as those of small drums. When changing drums, you need to use your wrist to drive the forearm and the forearm to move naturally to other drums to form a natural and coordinated action.
