"I need you to completely clear your brain, put aside all your musical knowledge for a while, and quietly feel the rhythm of the drum beat. Indeed, the drum set is about the melody, just like the heartbeat, only completely Get into it, feel those beats and beats with your heart and blood vessels. It’s a rhythm, and you can only control the rhythm if you feel the rhythm.”

"These are all correct. But the problem is that the basic skills of the drum kit are very, very important, the control of the wrist on the drumsticks, the feeling of the body's sense of space on the drum kit, the adjustment of the percussion force, and the strength and tenacity of the drum. Balance... these fundamentals are what builds the whole technical movement and the quality of the performance."

"Before this, you didn't know anything about drum kits, and you just rely on your own sense of rhythm to complete the percussion. This is like a castle in the air. It looks very beautiful, but in fact it is full of loopholes."

"I need you to let go of those unrealistic romantic ideas, show off your skills and talents, show your rhythm and rhythm, and start with the basics down to earth. There are no shortcuts! There are no three or five years, even the air. There is no way to learn the frame form of the drum, let alone the in-depth essence.”

"This is not a piano. After memorizing a piece of music and practicing repeatedly, you will be able to put on a posture after all, but in the world of drum kits, all your basic skills will be exposed, and there is no chance of luck. The more you practice, the more you will show!"

"Understood? This is not an instrument to attract the opposite sex or attract attention. On stage, the drum set is always the one standing in the back, the spotlight doesn't focus on us, and the cheers and shouts don't It belongs to us. We have to stay calm and low-key because the drum kit is the heart of the performance and controls the vitality of the entire stage.”

"If all you want is dazzle, then you're picking the wrong instrument."

After Renly's experimental performance, Johansen gushed out his opinions. The more he said and the more he said, he couldn't stop at all. Involuntarily, his tone became sharp and sharp. The true thoughts in the depths of the heart are also leaked, and it is inevitable that they are a bit aggressive.

But Renly didn't say anything but listened intently.

He really doesn't know anything about drums, it's the first contact, he can only play according to his own habits and instincts; although he doesn't know drums, he has enough knowledge about guitar and piano. Renly has his own keen sense of rhythm and rhythm, which is also the most important talent in the music creation process.

After the performance, Renly ushered in an educational baptism.

Renly could sense prejudice and resentment from Johansen, and he wouldn't say he liked it or enjoyed it, but the truth was, he didn't feel anger.

They only met for the first time, but Johansson skipped his own judgment and perception, and simply and rudely completed the positioning based on the image created by the media reports, and then launched a condescending criticism.

this is not fair.

But Renly knew that the reason why we should encourage reading and broaden our horizons is because everyone needs to open their hearts to accepting differences, so as to avoid falling into a rut, gradually getting out of track with the world, and living life Confined to a small space, unable to step out.

Simple conversations and brief encounters, Renly's feelings were profound and distinct.

Renly had no intention of arguing or making noise. After all, the two were just a teacher-student relationship that met by chance. He didn't need Johnson to like him, he just needed him to do his job dutifully, and that was enough; however, he still needed to put himself His thoughts were accurately conveyed, and he did not have the tendency to resign himself to masochism.

Johansson was completely immersed in his own thoughts. After the long speech was over, the turbid air in his chest was finally vented, and his reason slowly returned to the original place, and then he noticed Renly's gaze——

Those light brown eyes were calm, with a faint scrutiny and exploration in them, revealing a calmness and calmness that he knew clearly in his chest. It was obvious that Ren Li was sitting, and he was He was standing, but there was an illusion that Renly was looking down at him from a high place, and all the hair on his body stood on end.

Johansen suddenly realized that his true thoughts had been exposed.

Renly just played a few drum beats back and forth, nothing too much, but Johansen's emotions were out of control, and it wasn't until this moment that he reacted.

He was really too rude and rude. This made him feel embarrassed, as if he was covered in red fruit. He didn't dare to look at Ren Li at all. What, changed the subject, but the words became stammered, and after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't say a reason.

In the end, Renly spoke up to help clear the siege, "Well, let's start with the basic skills first. Where should we start practicing the basic drum skills?"

One step, Johansson immediately seized the opportunity, "Yes, the basic skills, let's start with the dumb drum, the easiest sixty."

The so-called dumb drum is actually a piece of rubber. It can only practice basic skills, not to mention the coordination of the hands and feet of the drum kit. Even the coordination of different positions such as the cymbal, rhythm cymbal, and snare cannot be achieved. This is pure practice. The instruments of manual work; moreover, the sound of the beating is not a vigorous thud, but a funny dull snap.

Sound, very funny.

Then Johansson added, "Of course, if you just want to practice a skill to fool an amateur audience for a concert or something special, then we can skip the dumb drums and go straight to the real drum practice." Understatement There was a hint of sarcasm and humor in his tone.

Not to mention big stars like Renly, when 90% of amateurs start learning the drums, they don't have the patience to slowly spend time on dumb drums. For laymen, this is simply a waste of time; but for professionals, dumb drums are a basic skill that must not be skipped, which is equivalent to building a foundation when building a house.

"No problem. Drums start," Renly said neatly, standing up from behind the drum set and looking around. "Where's the Drums for practice?"

Style as always.

From the beginning of the meeting to the present, Renly has always been consistent, concise, crisp, well-placed, calm and courteous; most importantly, in a positive attitude and positive emotions. There are no extra words, no polite greetings, and even no intention to create a close-to-the-people image. Everything revolves around learning.

This left Johansson stunned for a moment.

All the guesses he expected were all in vain, he couldn't tell what was going on, but after a moment of hesitation, he didn't say anything after all, "Here is the dumb drum. Let's start with the most basic sixty now. Even with some research on other instruments, in the basics of drum kits, we still need to start from scratch, the only difference is speed and ability.”

Finally, Johansson also became serious and focused, and the edge and hostility in his words subsided a little, showing his professional attitude.

The so-called "sixty" is actually not complicated at all. Simply put, it is sixty beats, and the drumhead is hit sixty times in one minute, an average of one per second. The reason why I say the basics is because this is training the drummer's sense of rhythm, keeping the tempo as uniform as possible, and really experiencing the rhythm of one second.

After that, the sixty beats may begin to double, and the difficulty will increase little by little. The drummer's sense of rhythm and rhythm is very strict. They must firmly grasp the center of gravity of the entire rhythm and maintain stability for a long time. Because in the whole performance and the band, once the drummer's rhythm loses stability, then the whole band will go wrong, and the ending is naturally terrible.

As for the training methods of basic skills, this is even more lackluster-

There was a metronome next to it, adjusted to a frequency of sixty, and then in the ticking sound, he began to beat the dumb drum. That's all.

In a trance, Ren Li seems to have returned to the childhood moments of this life again. On a sunny afternoon or a rainy morning, the tutor sits dignified and virtuous, and the sound of the metronome echoes in the piano room, as if it can be done. Capturing the historical footprints of the entire house and traveling back to the distant and ancient past, he must find a steady beat among the black and white keys of the piano.

As Johansen said, all music and all instruments have the same beat.

Solid basic piano skills, which are skills accumulated over a long period of time, have become a part of the body, which also makes Renly very fast to get started.

In less than fifteen minutes, Renly had been able to maintain a steady and uniform strike at a frequency of two hundred and forty, and his outstanding sense of music and rhythm was showing little by little.

Of course, two hundred and forty is not such a difficult technique, it is still the simplest basic skill, and switching to music mode is a quarter beat of the entry level. In other words, from sixty to two hundred and forty, all of them are still lingering outside the door.

However, Renly's speed, the sense of stability in his hitting, and the emotions revealed by the rhythm, can feel the profound musical heritage, and truly interpret the profound meaning of everything - only at the entry level.

What really embarrassed Johansson was Renly's attitude.

Although Renly showed a good level in the entry stage, he was not slack or arrogant at all, but started to practice according to Johansen's instructions, and played steadily; this made Johansen feel as if he was deliberately making things difficult for Renly. , he began to feel slightly uncomfortable.

Involuntarily, Johansson coughed twice and cleared his throat, "Start from sixty again."
