Learn The Benefits of Drumming

For those of you out there who believe drumming to be just about rhythm and noise, you are wrong! The art of drumming possesses a huge variety of benefits in all aspects of day to day life. Most of the skills and techniques learned with drumming can be applied to other situations. And for all the parents with hyper active kids, drumming just may be the solution to bringing back the focus in your young ones. So before you judge drumming, know that there are pluses beyond being musical.

Drummers are a different breed of people - they are set apart from other musicians. They have a totally different job, and different feel with their instrument. They are required to be able to move, and separate themselves from the rest of the band. Although they are still musicians, and share much of the same qualities, you cannot really compare a drummer to a melodic musician. There are certain things that you get out of drumming that you can't get out of other instruments.

Physical Benefits Of Drumming

The first obvious benefit to drumming is the physical aspect to it. Like mentioned above, drumming is a physical activity, one that takes a lot of energy. Sit on a stool, move your hands and feet around the kit at fast speeds, for long periods of time, and see how you feel. Tired? Its not an easy job. The cardio muscles in drummers are much more developed than in non-drummers. For all the parents out there who have trouble getting their young ones to get some exercise, try sitting them on a drum kit. Not only will they get the exercise they need, they will also have fun!

Mental Benefits Of Drumming

Drumming takes a lot of work, time, and energy that- when done right- is very rewarding. These kinds of reward can bee seen and heard very easily; so drummers are very self motivated. This determination and focus you learn can be applied to any situation. When playing a beat, drummers use every part of their mind to make sure every part of them is playing on time. For the younger kids out there, this helps to develop fundamental skills in channeling their mind, and focusing on one thing. Any parents out there who have kids suffering with ADD or ADHD? This is a big benefit for you. Getting your young ones to start playing the drums is a great way to help them take out their excess energy on something that is very useful, and physical.

Musical Benefits Of Drumming

Throughout this article you may get the impression that a drummer is not a musician. This is far from the truth. Being a musician is just another benefit of being a drummer. Having the feeling like you are accomplished is a feeling that no one can explain. Being in a band or other music group will give you confidence and meaning that other activities just cannot give you.; If you are a parent of a child who is lacking in self confidence, drumming may be the solution for you.

Weather you are young, old, or middle aged, playing the drums can be the most rewarding experience. It will keep you active, it will keep you thinking, and it will keep you in the know. I would strongly suggest drumming to parents with kids of any type. It helps shape the personality of a person by teaching them some fundamental life skills.
