"I need you to completely clear your brain, put all the music knowledge you know aside for the time being, and quietly feel the rhythm of the drum beat. Indeed, drums are about melody, just like a heartbeat, only by completely integrating into it, feeling the impact and beating with your heart and blood vessels. This is a rhythm, and only by feeling the rhythm can you control the rhythm."

"These are all correct. But the problem is that the basic skills of drums are very, very important. The control of the wrist on the drumsticks, the body's feeling of the drum space, the adjustment of the strike force, and the balance of strength and toughness... These basic skills are the basis for building the entire technical movement and performance quality."

"Before this, you didn't know anything about drums and just used your own feelings about rhythm to complete the tapping. It was like a castle in the air. It looked extremely wonderful, but in fact it was full of loopholes."

"I need you to give up those unrealistic romantic ideas, show off your skills and talents, show your rhythm and rhythm, and start from basic skills down-to-earth. There is no shortcut! Without three or five years, you can't even learn the frame form of a drum, let alone the in-depth essence."

"This is not a piano. After remembering a piece of music, you can practice it over and over again. In the end, you can still put on a stance. But in the world of drums, all your basic skills will be exposed, without a trace of luck. How much you practiced before will be displayed afterwards!"

"Do you understand? This is not an instrument used to attract the opposite sex or attract attention. On the stage, the drum set is always the one standing behind, the spotlight will not focus on us, and the cheers and shouts will not belong to us. We must remain calm and low-key, because the drum set is the heart of the entire performance and controls the vitality of the entire stage."

"If you want to show off your skills, then you chose the wrong instrument."

After Lanley's experimental performance, Johnson talked endlessly and put forward his opinions. The more he said, the more he said, the more he said, he couldn't stop at all. Involuntarily, his tone began to become sharp and sharp, and the true thoughts in his heart were leaked, which inevitably made him a little aggressive.

But Lan Li never refuted, but just listened seriously.

He really knew nothing about drum sets, and it was his first contact. He could only play according to his own habits and ability. Although he did not know drum sets, he had enough knowledge of guitar and piano. Lan Li had his own keen touch on rhythm and rhythm, which was also the most important talent in the music creation process.

After the performance, Lanli ushered in an educational baptism.

Lanley could feel prejudice and resentment from Johnson. He would not say he liked and enjoyed it, but the fact is that he did not feel angry.

They only met for the first time, but Johnson skipped his judgment and feelings, and simply and roughly completed the positioning based on the image created by media reports, and then criticized condescendingly.

This is unfair.

But Lan Li knew that the reason why he wanted to encourage reading and broaden his horizons was that everyone needed to open his mind and accept different things, so that he could avoid getting stuck in a stalemate and gradually getting out of the world, so that his life was confined to a small space and could not get out.

With simple conversations and short-term relationships, Renli's feelings are extremely profound and distinct.

Lan Li had no intention of arguing or making noise. After all, the two of them were just teachers and students who met by chance. He didn't need Johnson to like him, he just needed to complete his work conscientiously, which was enough. However, he still needed to convey his ideas accurately, and he did not have the tendency to be self-abuse to accept it.

Johnson was completely immersed in his thoughts. After the long discussion was over, the turbid air in his chest was finally released, and reason slowly returned to his original position. Only then did he notice Lan Li's gaze

The light brown eyes were calm, with a faint look and exploration, revealing a sense of calmness and calmness in their hearts. It was obvious that Lan Li was sitting and he was standing, but he had the illusion that Lan Li looked down at him from a high place, and his hair was standing up all over his body.

Johnson suddenly realized that his true thoughts were exposed.

Lan Li only performed a few drum beats in the past and after, and did not show any excessive performance at all, but Johnson's emotions lost control, and it was not until this moment that he realized.

He was really too rude and too polite. This made him feel embarrassed, as if he was naked, and he didn't dare to look at Lan Li at all. He could only avoid it in embarrassment, hesitated to try to say something and change the subject, but his words became stuttering. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't say anything.

Finally, Lan Li spoke out to help help, "Let's do this, let's start with the basic skills. Where should we start practicing the basic skills of drums?"

On a step, Johnson immediately seized the opportunity, "Yes, basic skills, let's start with the dumb drum, the simplest sixty."

The so-called dumb drum is actually a piece of rubber plate. You can only practice basic skills. Not to mention the coordination of hands and feet of drums, even the coordination of different positions such as hanging cymbals, rhythm cymbals, snare drums, etc. is impossible. This is a purely practice of manual skills. Moreover, the sound of the hit is not a strong dong dong sound, but a funny and dull slap sound, which is extremely funny.

Then Johnson added, "Of course, if you just want to practice a skill that fools amateur audience for a concert or something special, then we can skip the dumb drum and go straight to the practice of real drums." The understatement was filled with a hint of teasing and joking.

Not to mention big stars like Lan Li, when 90% of amateurs start to learn drum sets, they don’t have the patience to spend time on the mute drums slowly. For lay people, this is simply a waste of time; but for professionals, mute drums are a basic skill that must not be skipped, which is equivalent to the foundation when building a house.

"No problem. The mute drum starts." Lanli said frankly, stood up from behind the drum set, and looked around, "Where is the mute drum you practice?"

As always style.

From the beginning of the meeting to the present, Lan Li has always been consistent, concise and clear, straightforward, correct, calm and polite; most importantly, she has a positive attitude and a positive mood. There is no unnecessary words, no polite greetings, and even no intention to create her own image of the people. Everything revolves around learning.

This made Johnson a little stunned.

All the guesses expected were lost. He couldn't tell what was going on, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't say anything. "The mute drum is here. We are now starting from the most basic sixty. Even if we have studied other instruments, we still need to start from scratch in the basic exercises of drum sets. The only difference is speed and ability."

Finally, Johnson became serious and focused, and the sharpness and hostility in his words were slightly restrained, showing his professional attitude.

The so-called "sixty" is actually not complicated at all. Simply put, it is sixty beats, hitting the drum surface sixty times in a minute, an average of once a second. The reason for this is that it is training the drummer's sense of rhythm, maintaining the constant speed as much as possible, and truly experiencing the rhythm of one second.

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

As for the basic training methods, this is even more unreasonable

There is a metronome next to it, adjusting it to a frequency of sixty, and then starting to hit the dumb drum with the ticking sound. That's all.

In a trance, Lan Li seemed to have returned to her childhood moment again. On a sunny afternoon or a rainy morning, the tutor sat dignifiedly and virtuously, and the sound of the metronome echoed in the piano room, as if he could capture the historical footprints of the entire house and slowly return to the distant and ancient past, and he had to find a stable beat in the black and white keys of the piano.

As Johnson said, all music and all instruments are in harmony.

Solid basic piano skills, which are skills accumulated over the years, have become part of the body, which also makes Renli very fast to get started.

In just less than fifteen minutes, Lanli was able to maintain stable and constant strikes at a frequency of 240, and the outstanding musical and rhythm were being revealed bit by bit.

Of course, two hundred and forty is not a very difficult technique, it is still the simplest basic skill. Switching to music mode is a quarter-beat at the entry level. In other words, from sixty to two hundred and forty, all of this is still wandering outside the door.

However, Lan Li's starting speed, the stabilization of the strike, and the emotions revealed by the rhythm can feel the profound musical heritage, which truly interprets the mystery of "one of the worlds" and is limited to the entry stage.

What really embarrassed Johnson was Renly's attitude.

Although Lan Li showed a good level at the introductory stage, he was not slacking off or arrogant at all. Instead, he followed Johnson's instructions and started practicing steadily. This made Johnson feel as if he was deliberately making things difficult for Lan Li, and he began to feel a little uncomfortable.

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