Reading Drum Sheet Music and How to Grow As a Musician
Very often self taught drummers never learn the art of reading drum sheet music and try to learn by ear. This can be done and there are actually many great drummers that can’t read a note of sheet music, Dave Grohl for example. However, I would advise learning sheet music, even if it’s just basic beats. This way you will be able to open up your learning to tuition books and forms of music. You will also find it easier to write drums to other music, this skill will come in very handy if you plan on becoming a session drummer where an understanding of metronome and time signatures is crucial.
