My First Drum Lesson

I stepped into the classroom with my drum book and drumstick. No more excited. Just nervous.

Mr Richard taught us about notations and footwork. I struggled for a while to memorize the names of the 5 drums - bass drum, floor tom, middle tom, high tom, snare drum. Then comes the cymbals - hi-hat, crash cymbal, ride cymbal. Finally to associate their corresponding notation so that I can read and play.

The hour passed by really fast yesterday night. I did not had enough practice on the drum and it was time to go home already. In addition to that, there will be no class next week. Boohoo! :-(
Guess I would have to practise beating my lap and stamping my feet on the ground.
