    Ian is right,get lessons, and learn to read music.
    I still recall an arghument I had with a guy a few years ago who I was jamming Sandman with, who kept on bitching about me being out by a beat by the end of the chorus.

    Well, nowe I know that is because ther is one bar of 5/4 thrown in there, which he was just not getting, playing 4/4 all teh way through.

    Get lessons, learn ot read, teh world will be the crustacean of your choice.
    Music is not a competetion.

    Lessons. This is definitely the best way to go.
    you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.

  • Lessons. Yup. Best choice...


    ...however...


    If you're as stubborn as I am you could go auto-didactical and just learn it yerself. There's some good websites out there, but be warned! One of them "taught" me when I was tuning my toms that I had to "turn the lug as far as it will go" - damn well broke my floortom doing that. Dumbest thing I ever heard!

    The best (free!) drumming lessons website is this one: http://www.drummingweb.com/
    C'est une belle histoire
