Visit the Pearl Drums website and they got free instructions. And try learnin by drumming along to a song or playing it slow motion to get the beat. Good luck

Check "tabcrawler.com" and "wholenote.com" I am not sure if they have vidio to down load but I know they do have lessons that you can print out. Do you know how to read "Tabliture"?

Just blow man! I appreciate the time you took to write this you obviously have a lot of difficulty reading and writing words.  Just ignore any sad dorks who come on and criticise your spelling, by the way.\n\nMusic is quite a different system from writing words, so don't think that because you are dyslexic, that would apply to music.  Learning to write music takes a bit of time - especially the rhythm.  \n\nOne more point - I guess you know the names of the notes on your instruments.  There are plenty of websites which will show you the rudiments of music. Here's a start: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2005-09,GGGL:en&q=rudiments+of+music\n\nKeep playing where ever you can. Find sessions in local bars or clubs, ask other musicians to help you with learning to read and write music

There is more than likely tapes or Cd's that you can learn from, maybe try your local library. good luck!

Do you want the best set type? If so, try Ludwig. It is very sturdy and easy to bang on, plus it has incredible sound. I have used it all my life and has never failed me. Drum tabs take a while to get used to b/c there are so may things you have to look at at once. Try playing out singular parts, such as snare drum, and then putting the parts together. I don't know who or what Kahon is so I can't help there. There is no best techniques, you just have to decide what type of music you want to play and create stellar beats. Also, work on your flams, rolls, etc. which will help you make better music. Good luck and have a good time.

call or visit your local music store (make sure they at least sell drums) ask them for help, or some literature. They should be happy to help! Best of Luck! Happy Drumming!!!!

It is possible to teach yourself, believe it or not. I started out with 'Modern Chinese: A Basic Course' by The Faculty of Peking University. It's put out by Dover and has a CD with native speakers, both male and female, to accompany the text. Quite old, so kind of 'communist', but describes the sound system in detail, gives you a good foundation for the grammar - the basic sentence patterns.\n\nAnd a nice book on the writing system: Teach Yourself Beginner's Chinese Script, put out by Teach Yourself Books.\n\nLater on, I found a very nice (and free!) course on the Internet. Here's the URL: www.hanyu.com.cn/en/default.asp\n\nThis will give you more modern vocabulary, how to use it in conversation.\n\nAlso if you want you can learn Chinese characters, they have very nice animations which slowly take you through each character, like an invisible hand drawing them for you so you know the order and direction of the strokes (every detail IS important - if you don't get it right and you learn with the wrong order or direction, it'll come back to haunt you when you are writing the characters fast and they just 'don't look Chinese'...).\n\nI believe they also have a Japanese and a Korean version of this site - don't have the URL for it handy.\n\nFinally, a nice dictionary for beginners: Oxford Starter Chinese Dictionary.\n\n祝你好运气！Zhu4 ni3 hao3 yun4 qi! Good luck!

sometimes there are community choruses (check at the local community college) that you can do for a small fee.  Or other classes like that.

an excellent way to learn anything is to study how a master does it.\n\nsince you say 'lyrics' i assume you mean things for singing.\n\nlook at placebo, the shins, the stereophonics (their stuff from a few years ago at least) ...\n\nand some of the older classics.

Most of the sites online charge to download or print their sheet music. Other options: \n\ngo to the library and see if they have  a song book/lesson book and photo copy it.  \n\nGo to a local music store look it up. Most would not have an objection to you writing down the info you are looking for. They may even photo copy what you need for you.

I agree with the other answers - an instructor is a must. In addition, some 8 year olds may not have the muscular development to get into drumming, they may not yet have the coordination to enjoy learning about drumming. If they don't like it because they can't do it, it may be a real turn-off. Also some 8 year olds are not really into music yet - they have to love music to the point where practice will be fun and not punishment.\n\nAn instructor will likely start off with some rudiments. You can get your son a practice pad, some sticks and have him try to do some paradiddles and rolls:\nhttp://www.vicfirth.com/education/rudiments/01singlestrokeroll.html\nHe'll need instruction to do these correctly but if he shows an interest, that's a good sign.
