The definition of Fatal is "leading to failure or disaster"...and this mistake in our drumming leads to just that. This is the #1 issue and mistake I have had to address with students over the past few years. Are you working on music or material that is directly related to music you want to learn? We should ALWAYS be working towards the music. I spoke to a drum student just the other day...they had been playing almost a full year and had never learned a song! And they were discouraged, demotivated, bummed out. As they should be! Your first drum lesson should be working towards playing a song. Period. My students in my online drum school learn to grip the stick, play a beat, play a fill, play a song. Each of those short lessons is geared towards conquering that first song. It's a HUGE win!

Learning the drums is not NEAR as challenging if we connect it to MUSIC as soon as possible.

If you're just starting out on the drums, I also give a TON of examples of songs that you can play almost right away. There's no better way to learn the drums than to play with music!
