Welcome to LGM.

Check out your local music store...they may have some contacts that teach...or contactthe music department of a university.  They may have a student who is willing to teach on the side....other than that...invest in some DVD's or books and work your way through them.  Nothing beats a good live teacher though.

...okay man, you have to get the "Rapid Improvement" way of thinking and throw it away.  It doesn't work like that.  We don't have microwaves and we don't allow that and teachers don't like that either.  This isn't a competition.  This is a process.  Now with that stated....

#1.  Practice at "least" 30 - 45 min. a day to about 1 hr to 2 max.  (Make a schedule)

#2.  Work on your weaknesses and learn new and challenging things.  Also, please listen to music and your surroundings while your playing.  Don't go on stage or church and throw in every lick you've worked on in the past week on a Worship Song.  That'll give you the wrong attention. 

...if you want to get with a teacher, by all means do it.  As a matter of fact, do it.

I agree with JFunky on this as well.

I used to have the mind set that I WANT IT AND I WANT IT RIGHT NOW... But it is a process that is best worked through slowly.

The first thing that I had to teach myself was discipline. If you dont have the disciplined attitude, and willingness to go through the process of learning the craft, then you will never grow into being a drummer. Or musician. You will merely be that dude that can play.

As a child, learning how to read took time. It took brain work, and patience to trust the ENTIRE process. Drumming is the same way.

I encourage you to stick around this site. JFunky, ER, BEATBOXERS and so many others can point you in the right direction. But trust that it is a direction that leads you to an outcome of massive proportions. Invest in those DVDs, books, and lessons. LISTEN, HEED directions, and trust the process.

You should practice everyday at least 1 hr. At least 5 days a week. 6 even better.
