I got drums! (multiverse.soulism.net)

submitted 6 months ago by Grail@multiverse.soulism.net to c/casualconversation@piefed.social

I got an electronic drum kit! It makes drum sounds when I hit it! I can plug My headphones into it and it doesn't annoy the neighbours!

I played a simple beat on it and it was fun. I want to practice until I'm really good at it and I can invent great music.

Any drummers out there with newbie advice?

Set your drum throne/stool to a height where your upper legs are at a slight downward angle.

The heel of the foot on the kick pedal should be floating, like you’re kinda tiptoeing.
