Hello Forum!
My name is Chad and I just took the plunge on a Roland TD-9SX. I am very excited! I grew up playing the Saxophone, Alto Sax to be precise, so I have a little bit of a music background. I lost touch with music for about 15 years and recently the itch has returned.
Now this may seem funny but, I bought the Rock band game for my PS3 since it was released and have since upgraded to Rock band 2. I have fell in love with the drums. I know it is just a game but it has turned me on to playing the drums for real. My wife didn't want me to have an Acoustic drum set because of the noise and I quickly researched electronic drums and told her which one I wanted to get. She said go for it. (Very supportive wife)
Here is where the great folks on this forum can help me out. I want to learn drums from the ground up; from the very beginning. I want to learn to read drum music and all of the methods and rudiments. Would any of you care to suggest where I might start? What lesson books/DVDs have you used or heard of? Any suggestions would be appreciated and I look forward to your responses.
Thanks,
Chad
