P A N

i've found youtube to be a pretty valuable resource. you can find 2-10 minute vids with simple ideas in them for you to work on that will help your playing. if you are going to go the route with no formal instruction i would suggest getting some good books with different approaches in them. a list of rudiments and a practice pad will also help you grow faster if you spend a sufficient amount of time with them. any good drummer practices rudiments on a regular basis. many drummers today agree that Jojo Mayer's instructional video is a must-have for anyone taking a musical approach to the drumset. you might be able to find in a torrent somewhere if you can't afford to pay 60 bucks for it. nonetheless, it's worth 60 bucks.

but really, just practicepracticepractice.
