Learn To Play The Drums In 10 Minutes (Beginner Lesson w/ Domino Santantonio)
Learn the drums in 30 days with daily guided workouts:
►drumeo.com/30daydrummer/
Learning to play drums might look difficult, but it’s easier than you think. And you can start playing drum beats more quickly than you think, too!
In this video, Domino Santantonio will show you how to play one of the most popular beginner drum beats of all time, then coach you through a 5-minute drumming ‘workout’ as you build the beat into something you can play confidently.
It’s like a fitness video, but with drums!
Here are the five steps to learning a basic drum beat:
1. Hi-hat and bass drum together
With your right hand on the hi-hat and your right foot on the bass drum (left hand/left foot if you’re a lefty), hit both the hi-hat and bass drum together.
2. Hi-hat and snare drum together
With your right hand on the hi-hat and your left-hand on the snare drum (or in reverse if you’re drumming open-handed or on a left-handed kit), play the hi-hat and the snare together.
3. Combine steps 1 and 2
Alternate between steps 1 and 2 to create a beat!
4. Double the hi-hat
You’ll play twice as many hits on the hi-hat than you were before. Think of it like adding one more hi-hat stroke that you play alone in between steps 1 and 2.
You can then try alternating steps 3 and 4 to go between playing one hi-hat stroke and two hi-hat strokes.
5. Add a crash
Every time you restart the phrase - or every 4 or 8 repetitions - replace the first hit on the hi-hat with a hit on the crash. And there you have it: the most popular beginner beat ever, and one of the most used rock beats of all time.
(While writing it out might make it look overly complicated, watch the video to see how simple it actually is.)
Domino Santantonio is the host and instructor of 30-Day Drummer, a workout program that will challenge you to practice drums every day for one month. It’s built for new drummers, so you don’t need any experience to sign up! And if you sign up this week, you'll get a free practice pad and drumsticks. Find out more here: drumeo.com/30daydrummer/

FINALLY!! Someone understands what’s it’s like to be a complete beginner - timing the kick was always my issue (I would want to tap my foot to match my hands on each hit instead of being disciplined and keeping my foot down while my hands do the work), so many KZread videos just jump to grooves at full speed and tell you to copy them without letting you get your body accustomed to the full movements or reasoning first.

Ya I wouldn't even recmmend sitting down at a drum set. I'd say buy a practice pad and work on getting your left hand in sync and learn the rhythyums first.
I'm a total beginner and got my first electric kit today. I played along with this video for about an hour and had such a blast! I got it by the end despite my kick falling behind a little and couldn't stop playing it. Loved the backing track - so much more fun to play to than a click!

This is great to read. Im considering FINALLY getting myself an electric kit next year, and doing these lessons just for the fun of it. Ive always wanted to learn the drums...my fitness drum class and hitting the sticks on the floor is as close as Ive gotten. 😄

@@RadicalValkyrie it’s definitely worth it if you ever wanted to play drums. I just got an electronic set this weekend and it’s so much fun. The only reason I went electric is cause I have the drums setup in my room on the second floor so I can’t have an acoustic set too loud. I got the Alesis mesh surge kit and it’s pretty cool, I love that I can get a ton of different sounds without having to adjust the drum heads or purchase a ton of other drums.

That's right
Been drumming for +- 50 years. Still put 1-2 hours a day. Often had to teach youngsters that had all the theory knowledge to go back to the basics. Keep it clean, neat and tight. None of the Beatles read music. Follow how you feel.

Go for it and don’t hesitate, get an electronic kit if noise is an issue, I just bought my first kit I’m 57, I’ve been air drumming to songs since I was a young teen and wished I’d taken up playing them back then, but my mum couldn’t afford to be me a kit and it would’ve been too noisy to play. I find that I can actually play along to some songs because I’ve been doing it on air for such a long time

The problem is you have to learn how to HOLD sticks FIRST then learn how to bounce sticks off of drum.
My permanent metronome, now built into my head for life, because of you. The "And 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4" I can't un hear that!
Domino is a Star. Fantastic to see her collaborating with Drumeo. Wishing everyone all the best on the course

Started learning drums with this beat last week because of drumeo, with some practice i have it down now. Thank you
Been practicing this work out for about 10 days now, being my first time holding sticks and starting to learn the drums I feel really good about my progress, my plan is to keep praticing this work out until the beginning of the 30 day course, I'm so excited!!!! ❤️🔥🥁

Cheers, Clarence!
I was cruising KZread for drumming videos a couple months back with my 2yr old daughter because she showed an interest in playing drums and we found this video. This is her favorite video! She watches this at least 3x a day now and you can tell she’s absorbing it the more she watches. As someone who likes to play multiple instruments, I’m finally getting it too. Thank you for this video, and rock on!
Thanks to all the drumeo team and Domino for the class, it's great that your never stop sharing the topic of teaching because that keeps us drummers in the habit of discipline and never stop learning and also the class is dynamic and fun. Quedo chida la clase.
After 45 years still love drumming, if possible on a daily basis. It's fun every day, and always possible to learn something new, or practice to get better 🥁 For life ✨️ ❤️

Makes me feel nostalgic to watch those first lesson videos. 1 year in and the progress is crazy. Never stop drumming everyone!
1:07 -- I'm left-handed but when I learned as a kid, I knew that nobody ever was going to have a left-handed house kit so I forced myself to learn right-handed and I love it because now it opened up so much extra, with no dominant hand now.
Thank you, my 9 year old Granddaughter has just started learning as a complete beginner, and she loves the step by step approach starting with the very basics.
As simple as these beats may seem to someone who's been playing the dwumms already for quite some time, it still was heaps of fun to play along with Domino (and some of the other drumeo guys in the recent live stream video, too) 😊👍
Aside from the very good pedagogy, there are so many details to admire in this video. First and foremost, she demonstrates how much feel and emotion you can put into the money beat, even playing to a canned MIDI backing track. I felt it in my heart. Next, she has a personalized, well-tuned kit. 4-piece, Heaven's own snare sound, the Ludwigs with vintage-style reinforcement rings, perfectly damped, nice light Paistes that go well with her vintage tone. I would have loved to have this course available when I started playing 10 years ago.

Book publishers should hire her to narrate audiobooks! Her voice is amazing!
You are a very good teacher and look like you’re having lots of fun. Thank you.
It really makes you appreciate just how many songs have this exact drum line in them, with very little variance other than for style.
It has taken me an entire week to be able to nail this 5 minute workout 😂 Starting from total beginner and having never played any intrument before. I practiced with the metronome on my kit and came back to this workout every now and again. It has been a challenge, but i enoyed it.
She's an insanely great teacher oh my god! It's not the same obviously but I was following along with a drum kit on Ableton hooked up to my MPK Mini's drum pads. I feel like a lot of music production tutorials say when to hit whatever percussion, but they never say why. Felt like I was blindly following formulas without understanding. Following along with this gave me a great beginner understanding of what's actually happening. Thanks so much Domino!
Making Québec proud!
Wow... Your the best teacher in drums. You teach step by step, that is the right step.. 😊
Amazing lesson for all beginners. And actually, the backing track she's using to teach is pretty cool.
Can not express how awesome I think Damino is in everyway.
Step 6: sign a record deal. :D You did an amazing job on this video and even gave me confidence that I might actually be able to learn how to actually make a beat. Thank you
Thank you Domino's and drumeo for your demonstration video. I'm planning on starting to play drums again and work on my technique and some other stuff!
This was really soothing to listen to.
This is great to see! I’m just starting out teaching, and had an interview for a teaching job yesterday afternoon - wish I’d found this video the day before!
Thank you so much. Very easy to learn through your step by step class. Keep upload more videos so it will be much helpful for beginners like me. Once again thank you. God bless you
Merci pour ces formations. J adore ta methode. Continue de nous partager ta passion.

I'm a beginner too and it's only normal that you there's no coordination in the first few months. Take it easy! It all comes with practice and more importantly have fun. It's just an instrument that helps you express your joy and love for music.
Thanks , you are a wonderful teacher in every way.
I loved the way you teach! I’m going to show it to my daughter who is just starting. Would like to see a video about how to set up the kit - height and angle of drums, including electronic drums, and also advise on holding the sticks.
If you're at a party and just want to jam at a 4/4 time to a simple pop or rock tune whether to a record or with other musicians this will work and just have fun
Great video! I a begginer. Just bought a roland td17kvx. You had me playing and feeling great❤❤
I’ve been making compositions for a year. Hard to find a drummer for free. I bought an electronic drum kit a few years ago but gave up on learning. I watched many KZread videos but they quickly go to the difficult stuff and I get lost. You have convinced me that I will soon be able to record my drums myself. Thanks!
thank you so much! this video was super helpful as a 1st lesson to get me started on my journey . Keep up the great work!
You are amazing. Love how you teach!
That kick sounds amazing!
This lesson is pure gold!
Wow. I love this drum tutorial! She makes it simple for beginners to learn!
Luvly way to put it. Easy & practical & joyous. The music choice is perfect. Good drummer definitly 👏🌈

I'm hurry to follow the 3daydrummer program with Domino !
Super tutoriall! Gonna show this to my 9 year old. Thanx.
This feels like a Pilates or aerobics class and I’m all for it haha
Nice simple introduction. I'm left handed and never considered drumming "left-handed". I started out in a marching band in the 1960s. When I started guitar in 1970, I never considered a left-handed guitar. I found out that being slightly ambidextrous works out that I can play any instrument in its most common format. Rearranging a drum kit for "left-handedness" would be so limiting if I ever sat-in using another's drum kit.
Just learning thank you! Plz do more
Love the wrap on that kit!
Love her teaching style!
That is amazing, like learning how to play drums as an actual workout? Genius!
Thanks Domino (curious your name is not Domina ?) but that is irrevelant. For Newbies , this is a great starting point. I started to pay drums in 1966 at 15 years old, bit big time by the Rock and Roll Bug (and British Invasion). I took lessons , 8-10, practiced on a pad (Paradiddles anyone?) and was itching to get on a drum set. Once you do, oh Boy, you are hooked. I was. Now after over 50 Years (1969 is when I stopped) I resurrected playing Drums again as a retirement hobby. No Gigs, but who knows maybe a Geriatric band or Jamming muscians show up locally !! It gets in your Blood !!
