How do we know if we're good drummers? How do we know if we're "bad" drummers? Is there a checklist for drummers? Through my years of teaching thousands of drum lessons to thousands of drummers around the world, I have come up with some very solid criteria for what makes a "good" drummer. Let's face it, everyone deserves to feel good about their drumming. If you're putting in the work, you should get some satisfaction out of that work. So here are 10 things that I look at in a student to judge where they are on the accomplished drummer scale. If they have all of these, does that mean they should stop working so hard? Absolutely not! These items will simply give you the satisfaction of knowing (especially on those rough practice days) that in fact you ARE a "good" drummer...you're just a good drummer having a bad day. And that's an ok thing. Leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts on what you feel classifies a good drummer! ___ FREE drum lesson series "Creating A Drum Fill Vocabulary": https://www.stephensdrumshed.com/creating-drum-fills-signup/ FREE download "30 Days to Better Doubles": http://www.stephensdrumshed.com/emailstuff/ FREE practice lesson series "Transforming Your Practice Time": https://www.theartofpractice.online/taop-free/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/stephensdrumshed Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephen.taylor.drum.lessons/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drummeretc Cymbal Setup From Left To Right: 14" Zildjian K Custom Special Dry HiHats 18" Zildjian K Dark Crash Cymbal 22" Zildjian K Sweet Ride Cymbal 23" Zildjian K Custom Dry Ride Cymbal Tama Starclassic Bubinga with Tiger Wood finish Sticks: Vic Firth 5A Drumheads: Aquarian Classic Clear on toms and snare resonant Response 2 clear on toms batter Texture Coated on snare batter Regularor (Ebony) on kick resonant Super Kick 10 on kick batter Alclair In Ear Monitors Earthworks Microphones
