"I need you to completely empty your brain, temporarily put aside all the music knowledge you know, and quietly feel the rhythm of the drum beat. Indeed, the drum set is about the melody, just like the heartbeat, only completely Melt into it and feel those bumps and beatings with your heart and blood vessels. This is a kind of rhythm. Only when you feel the rhythm can you control the rhythm."

"These are all correct. But the problem is that the basic skills of the drum set are very, very important. The wrist controls the drumsticks, the body feels the sense of space on the drum set, the adjustment of the percussive force, and the strength and tenacity. Balance...These basic skills are the basis for the construction of the entire technical movement and performance quality."

"Before that, you didn't know anything about the drum set, and you just used your own feeling of rhythm to complete the percussion. This is like a castle in the sky, which looks extremely beautiful, but in fact it is full of loopholes."

"I need you to give up those unrealistic romantic ideas, show off your skills and talents, show your own rhythm and rhythm, and start from the basic skills down-to-earth. There is no shortcut! There is no short-cut! There is no such thing as three years or five years. You can't learn the frame of the drum, let alone the deep essence."

"This is not a piano. After memorizing a piece of music and practicing over and over again, you can still assume a posture after all, but in the world of drums, all your basic skills will be exposed, and there is no chance of fluke. How much you practice, and how much will be shown later!"

"Understand? This is not an instrument used to attract the opposite **** or attract attention. On the stage, the drum set is always the one standing behind. The spotlight will not focus on us, nor will cheers and shouts. It belongs to us. We must remain calm and low-key, because the drum set is the heart of the entire performance and controls the vitality of the entire stage."

"If you want to show off skills, then you have chosen the wrong instrument."

After Lan Li’s experimental performance was over, Johnson gushed out his own opinions. The more he said, the more he said, he couldn’t stop at all. Involuntarily, his tone began to become sharp and sharp. The true thoughts deep in my heart also leaked out, inevitably a little aggressive.

But Lan Li never retorted, just listened carefully.

He really didn’t know anything about drums, it was completely the first contact. He could only play according to his own habits and instincts. Although he didn’t know drums, he had enough for guitar and piano. Understand that Lan Li has his own keen sense of control over rhythm and rhythm, which is also the most important talent in the process of music creation.

After the performance, Lan Li ushered in an educational baptism.

Lan Li can feel the prejudice and resentment from Johnson. He will not say that he likes and enjoys it, but the fact is that he does not feel anger.

They only met for the first time, but Johnson skipped his own judgment and perception, simply and rudely completed the positioning based on the image created by the media reports, and then proceeded to criticize it condescendingly.

this is not fair.

But Lan Li knows that the reason to encourage reading and to broaden his horizons is because everyone needs to open their hearts and accept differences, so as to avoid getting into a trap, gradually getting out of track with the world, and even living. Confined in a small space, you can't go out.

With simple conversations and short-term relationships, Lan Li's feelings are extremely deep and vivid.

Lan Li has no intention of arguing or arguing. After all, the two are just a teacher-student relationship. He doesn’t need Johansson to like himself, he just needs to do his job with due diligence, which is enough; however, he still needs to treat himself His thoughts were accurately conveyed, and he did not have a tendency to succumb to self-masochism.

Johansson was completely immersed in his thoughts. After the long talk was over, the stale air in his chest finally vented, and his reason slowly returned to the original place. Only then did he notice Lan Li's gaze—

Those light brown eyes were calm, and there was a trace of inquisition and exploration in the faint, revealing a calmness and calmness that was clear to the chest. It was obvious that Lanli was sitting, and he was only He was standing, but there was an illusion that Lan Li was condescending and looking down at him, and his entire body was erected.

Johnson suddenly realized that his true thoughts had been exposed.

Lan Li only performed a few drumbeats before and after, without any excessive performance at all, but Johnson lost control of his emotions, and he didn't react until this moment.

I was really too gaffe and too rude, and this immediately made him feel embarrassed, as if he was covered in red fruits, he didn't dare to look at Lan Li, so he could only avoid it embarrassingly, and hesitated to try What, changed the subject, but the words became stammered, and he hesitated for a long time without being able to say one reason.

In the end, Lan Li spoke out to help out, "Well, let's start with the basic skills first. Where should the basic skills of the drum kit start?"

One step, Johnson immediately seized the opportunity, "Yes, the basic skills, let's start with the dumb drum, the easiest sixty."

The so-called dumb drum is actually a rubber plate. You can only practice basic skills. Not to mention the coordination of the hands and feet of the drum set. Even the coordination of different positions such as the cymbal, rhythm cymbal and snare drum cannot be done. This is pure practice. Hand exercise equipment; moreover, the sound of hitting is not a powerful banging, but a funny dull banging sound, which is extremely funny.

Then Johansson added, "Of course, if you just want to practice the skill of fooling amateur audiences for a concert or some special performance, then we can skip the dumb drums and go directly to the real drum practice." It is an understatement. There was a hint of ridicule and joke in the tone.

Don't talk about big stars like Lanly. When 90% of amateurs start learning drums, they don't have the patience to slowly spend time on dumb drums. For laymen, this is simply a waste of time; but for professionals, dumb drums are a basic skill that must never be skipped, which is equivalent to the foundation when building a house.

"No problem. The dumb drum begins." Lan Li said cleanly, standing up from behind the drum set, and looking around, "Where is the dumb drum for practice?"

The style as always.

From the beginning of the meeting to the present, Lanli has always been consistent, concise and clear, simple and tidy, advancing and retreating properly, calmly and politely; most importantly, he has a correct attitude and a positive mood. There are no extra words, no polite greetings, and even no intention to portray an image of being close to the people. Everything revolves around learning.

This made Johnson a little stunned.

All the expected guesses were lost. He couldn't tell what was going on, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say anything after all, "The dumb drum is here. Let's start with the most basic sixty. Even if we have studied other instruments, we still need to start from the beginning in the basic practice of drum kits. The only difference is speed and ability."

Finally, Johnson also became serious and focused, the sharpness and hostility in his words were slightly reduced, showing his professional attitude.

The so-called "sixty" is actually not complicated at all. Simply put, it is sixty beats. The drumhead is hit sixty times in one minute, an average of once per second. The reason for saying basic is that this is to train the drummer's sense of rhythm, to maintain a constant speed as much as possible, and to truly experience the rhythm of one second.

After that, sixty beats may start to double, and the difficulty will increase little by little. The requirements for the rhythm and rhythm of drummers are very strict. They must firmly grasp the center of gravity of the entire rhythm and maintain stability for a long time. Because in the entire performance and the band, once the drummer's rhythm loses stability, then the whole band will go wrong, and the ending is naturally horrible.

As for the training methods of basic skills, this is even more lackluster—

A metronome was placed next to it, adjusted to a frequency of sixty, and then amidst the ticking sound, it began to beat the dumb drum. That's all there is to it.

In a trance, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Lan Li seems to have once again returned to the childhood moments of this life. On a sunny afternoon or rainy morning, the tutor sits dignified and virtuously aside, and the sound of the metronome is in the piano room. The middle yoyo echoed, as if he could capture the historical footprint of the entire house, and walk back to the distant and ancient past, and he had to find a stable beat among the black and white keys of the piano.

As Johnson said, all music and the beats of all instruments are interlinked.

The solid basic piano skills, which are skills accumulated over the long years, have become part of the body, which also makes Lan Li's hands-on speed very fast.

In less than fifteen minutes, Lan Li was able to maintain a steady and uniform strike at a frequency of two hundred and forty, and the outstanding sense of music and rhythm was showing little by little.

Of course, two hundred and forty is not a difficult technique, it is still the simplest basic skill. Switching to music mode is a quarter beat of the entry level. In other words, from sixty to two hundred and forty, all of this is still hovering outside the door.

However, Lanly’s speed, stability of his strikes, and the emotions revealed by the rhythm, can feel the profound musical background, which truly interprets the profound meaning of Belden—only in the introductory stage.

What really embarrassed Johnson was Renly's attitude.

Although Renly showed good standards at the beginning stage, he did not slack or arrogant at all. Instead, he started practicing according to Johansen's instructions and played steadily; this made Johansson feel like he was deliberately making things difficult for Lanli , He began to feel a little uncomfortable.

Involuntarily, Johnson coughed twice, cleared his throat, "start again from sixty."
