Hola!

i pretty much totally suck at finger drumming and am currently struggling to learn to move both hands separately.. :roll:

While searching for a good starter tutorial, i stumbled upon these beginner lessons by Jeremy Ellis.
Might be old news for many of you but i thought i post it anyway since the forum search did not bring them up:

Pretty basic in the beginning but harder in each episode and definitely worth watching!

Maybe one of you guys find them useful too...

Get a nice boring job at a desk and practice all day and get paid for it. Thats what I did, for 4 years. Now when I fingerdrum at my current job, all the ladies stop and do a little dance as they pass by. Great convos to be had.

I've been practicing banging some drums uses that new layered pack Tutor released. In just three days I have found my ability to keep a beat going improve tremendously. So I almost feel like having the right samples loaded helps too?

But, I f'n got a noise complaint last night. :-\ Practice makes annoyance?
