if you're new forget about pj tabs for now...learn the right way...buy a book...i have 2 great books...drums for dummies has some very informative stuff...also "stick control" is great...practice stick control over and over...it's so valuable to get the basics and learn the right way...a drum pad it a good investment and will save you're ears
also, download the 26 (there may be over 40 now) rudiments...26 is below...
http://www.drummingweb.com/rudiments.htm
can't go wrong with lessons...they can be expensive, but if you can afford to take a few here and there you'll be suprised how fast you learn
again if you're a total newb you have a lot of hard work until drums will be a blast...hard work will pay off...buy the dummies book...you'll learn so much
pm me with any questions...also http://www.pearldrummersforum.com is a great forum
hope I helped at all
listen to music for hours on end, ignoring the other instruments- just focus on what the drummer is doing...every single fuckin beat
watch live music regardless of style, to get ideas and watch what the drummer is doing
then just sit at the kit and work for hours until you condition yourself to be coordinated so that your 4 limbs work entirely independently
thats what i did, and im all the better for it:)
everyone has their own way, but I disagree...I think the best way to progress it to take lessons and learn the rudiments, then from there master the little things...greatness will come, but i think only after hard work
don't get me wrong I love watching Keith Moon (if that's how he learned)
