How To Learn Playing Drum ?

This is the basic information for beginners in which they will come to know how to play drum. In this lesson you'll learn to speed quickly by laying down a basic beat. You can also learn playing drum without a drum set.
It is a favour for beginning drum students that they can start learning before purchasing their instrument or seeking out a practice space that already has one.
So if you don't have a drum set, you'll be playing drum with your hands and feet on a table and the ground. This practice won't make you a complete drummer, as there are a lot of basic lessons in using drumsticks and pedals, but it goes a long way at the start.
In the following short beginner drum lessons you are going to tap your right hand to simulate a hi-hat, your left hand to simulate a snare, and your right foot to simulate a bass drum. If you're left handed you may switch left and right. Also, if you do have a drum set and are looking for your very first drum beat lesson, just follow what's written here on your set.
Now, let's start with your first beginner drum lesson. Sit down comfortably, preferably at a desk or a counter-top, and start tapping continuously with your right hand. Now, start counting mentally or out loud as you tap "one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four...", where each number gets a tap. You don't have to keep counting, but for now at least keep in mind that we're going to do things in cycles of four.
Next, let's bring the snare drum in. For every count of three, tap your left hand. When you tap your left hand, tap it a bit harder than the right. You can also tap with the left hand finger nails, which make a sound more similar to a snare drum.
Now we're finally up to the bass drum. Keep both hands going, and at the same time tap your right foot for every count of one. The beat you're tapping is the most basic and common rock beat in 4/4 time.
As always, you should start practicing slowly and speed up as you gain more confidence in sustaining a steady beat.
The framed box below concisely shows how to do this beat using sounds and a drum tab diagram.

Basic 4/4 Rock Beat
Count:
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Hi-Hat (Right Hand):
x x x x x x x x
Snare (Left Hand):
. . O . . . O .
Bass (Right Foot):
O . . . O . . .


The interesting thing about this beat is that it fits nearly every pop song out there, since most songs are written in 4/4 time. To have some fun, put on your favorite song, and see if you can count 1, 2, 3, 4... with the song's beat. Once you can do that, add the tapping beat you just learned drum, and play along.
After you feel comfortable with performing this beat, the thing which you can do is to switch hand and foot parts left to right, and practice the beat again. This way you'll work on ambidextrous drumming from the start.
We hoped you enjoyed this drum lesson and it helped you in playing drum. At this point, if you can easily play the basic drum beat, you are ready to add a little bit of complexity, and move on to the next landmark.

Drum set: Percussion instrument composed of a set of drums and cymbals.
Ride cymbal: Circular brass plate producing treble sounds.
Snare drum: Drum producing a sharp rattling sound.
Lug: Enable to adjust the membrane of the drum to a desired tension.
Bass drum: The biggest drum of the set, it produces a deep low sound.
Percussion sticks: Instruments used to hit the drums and cymbals to produce different sounds.
Tripod stand: Three-legged support.
Rack toms: Pair of drums.
High-hat cymbals: Pair of cymbals which produce a sound when operating a pedal that makes the upper cymbal hits the lower cymbal. The pedal also allows to modify a sound when the upper cymbal is hit with a percussion stick.
