Drum Chops in a hurry.

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. ​
