Just wanted to hear some Feedback :)

Hi! I would like to ask some advice.

I would really like to teach English in another country, in particular Japan.

I am currently going to be serving in the military for about 4 years, but once I am out I would like to work towards teaching english in Japan. I have already started studying the language, simply to start early. But since I have so much time in between now and then, where should I start in terms of earning credentials and certifications?

Sorry about the vagueness of the post, but I truly am new to this.

Hi!

I was looking for some advice! I actually have about four months until I leave to join the military and am unemployed and am not going to school. I will not be leaving for four months. Thing is I have a goal. I would really like to be a proficient jazz drummer/marching drummer. I know both of those are completely different beasts to tackle, but I figured I could start with becoming a proficient marching drummer and then taking that to a kit and then learning the separation of limbs in order to jazz it up.''

Any recommendations on books and or practice routines, Or just advice on how to efficiently use my time?

I LITERALLY HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.

To spend 2-4 hours of practice a day on drums.

I simply need to know what to practice. I have been trying to teach myself by practicing single stroke and double stroke rudiments on a pillow, but after reading around on other forums, i have been gettting this odd feeling that I might be learning bad technique and destroying my tendons in the process.

Seriously I need help with this. Also, I do not have the money to acquire a teacher sadly. I saw this thread and this was helpful for someone a lot more experienced. I want to start over and begin ANEW.

I would like to start from the ground up

Just going to say, This is my first time checking out the LARP subreddit due to prolonged curiosity in LARP.

I am impressed with the organization and the thought that goes into this. I thought I might mention This, as an example of the detail.

But Holy shit, this is way more intricate and detailed then I thought it was. Very cool, I might have to seek out a local group and check things out. Just giving a shout out to you guys.

Hello! I am actually seeking some advice on how to practice rudiments correctly!

How would I go about practicing them safely? I do not want to injure myself like I did a little while ago. Is there a limit to how much I can practice a day? Any tips on creating a practice routine?

I also bought This

I am sorry I am being so vague with my request...

Hey drummit!

I need some direction and advice on buying a new kit. For the past year and a half I have been playing a Frankenstein kit, assembled from any peice of hardware and shell I could acquire for free. This machine, being an absolute monster. I have decided to buckle down and buy my own fancy dancy kit.

I have been looking around, and can't seem to find what I am looking for on craig's list. I am really interested in the shells and the actual drums to have a classic natural wood look. Like Blondewood or a dark maple. Playing on that sort of kit also has the sound that I like too. I found one at my local music store for $649, but I have gut feeling I could find something for cheaper

I am really interested in joining the military. The Coast guard in particular. Can anyone tell me about the Coast guard?

I think I have injured myself.

I need your medical and drumming advice drummit. Something is wrong with my forearm, or rather the tendons in my forearm. While practicing rudiments I started to feel a slight burn. Myself, being stupid, ignored the pain and kept on practicing, at that moment in time I was simply thinking that I was working out the muscles in my arm.

I am not sure on whether I over extended the tendons in my forearms or I just have soreness of the muscles. I am just worried because sometimes the pain is sharp and other times it simply feels like my muscles are sore.

What is your advice.

Hello r/drums!

I am in need of some assistance and advice. So here is my story, I enjoy drumming more then any instrument I have laid my hands on and I have been throwin sticks around for about a year now and I am to the point That in order to become any better I really need a sensei or teacher of some sorts.

But that's not all. I really need to learn how to do accents and rolls. I have been having trouble teaching myself how to do them

Here is an example of what I mean

EXAMPLE

I figure my problem is that I do not have the stick control or something. But I would very much appreciate any of the advice the drumming community has to offer,
