Quick favor from the early members here. This community is only a few days old and we’re trying to get more drummers practicing together. If you know anyone who plays drums — beginner, intermediate, whatever ,send them the page. The goal is to build a group where we actually practice, record, and improve together. The more drummers we have in here, the better this is gonna be for everyone.

Pick a song that’s a little out of your element. Not something crazy hard, just something different from what you normally play — a different feel, groove, or style. Spend some time practicing it and getting comfortable with it. But here’s the rule, when you record that first take, you have to post it. No overthinking it, no trying to get the perfect one. Just hit record and throw it up here. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about pushing ourselves a little and getting better together. Let’s see what everyone comes up with.

One of my challenges for this week is learning more about mixing and mastering. I’ve been working on getting my e-kit recordings to sound better and more balanced. It’s definitely a process, but day by day I’m getting a little better at dialing everything in. Still a lot to learn, but that’s part of it. I actually recorded and mixed this earlier today, so let me know what you guys think.

Right now Learn With Me is just getting started, so more lessons and classes will be coming as the community grows. The goal here isn’t just watching lessons — it’s actually practicing together and improving as a group. I wanted to get the structure up first so everyone can see where things are going while the lesson videos are being recorded. In the meantime, keep practicing whatever you're currently working on — grooves, sticking, speed, or a song — and focus on your practice. If you feel comfortable, share what you're working on or post a quick clip so everyone can see your progress. It doesn’t have to be perfect. The idea is to stay consistent, learn from each other, and keep getting better together. -F

Hoping for some feedback on my playing! I find myself rushing/dragging a lot in this song. It's cranked in my headphones while recording, but I still have a hard time following the drums. Also, my right hand gets very tired. I'd like to work on tightening up my transitions, as well as cleaning up my rolls. I'm self taught, so if there are any glaring issues with my technique please let me know!
