How did you learn to play drums?
Buying a good used set this week and just curios on how you guys learned
Can you recommend me some basic instructional DVDs just for like basic skill techniques
Thanks

Firstly, I'm not a drummer, but before I grab the bass guitar (the love of my life), I tried drumming for like a month or so.. Don't remember, sorry ):
A friend of mine helped me a little and the rest was on YouTube.. You can find some awesome drummers there!
So, at the beginning it was a nightmare to me- I had no idea where should my legs be when I'm not using the double bass pedals, so I used to hit them with the drum sticks a lot.. I remember one time my knee was bleeding
Better remove your earrings cos if the drum stick goes there- with your ear it's over! I had a split lip and a black eye at the beginning, but after a week or so I managed to drum better. The one thing, that I hated was the speed.. I was watching some drummers like Jaska or that one from Wintersun (don't remember names, sorry) and I felt stupid as fuck.
The other thing- you get muscles
Drumming is fun, but it's not as easy as it looks
