Here are my thoughts for quickly acquiring drum chops.
1. Learn and memorize tunes by ear. 2. Join a band and play as much as possible. 3. Transcribe like crazy. 4. Record everything you do. 5. Learn more tunes. 6. Technique with a metronome. Various tempi. 6b. Get your snare drum rudiments together. 7. Play transcriptions in the idioms of your choosing. 8. Keep up your lessons. 9. Join a second band that plays only original music. 10. Write some original music. Bonus. Read and explore the history of your chosen idioms ASAP. Timeline: 5 to 10 years. I notice improvement in my playing every one hundred hours of practice or so. I've been working at it for 12 years. If I can help you call me. David #Junction percussion Teacher Toronto
