learning how to drum: what video lessons? what forums? Advice?

[everdrone]

I want to learn drums on a low budget, what do you recommend?
I recently bought an electronic drumset and acoustic drumset.
Here is a video of my current drumming abilities if that helps you give me a suggestion for youtube videos/drum forums/etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmdYOy6zIIQ

Theres tons of this online and on the ol Youtube. Find a channel you like and go for it...start basic. Nothing worse than a drummer with all flash but can't keep time

There are some great basic tutorials on YouTube from my friend and As Follows drummer; her name is Claire Brock. Really solid stuff, she is a professional drum/percussion educator at the university level.

Been trying to raise you on the phone, brother.

I watched Drumeo Channel and set up my kit more ergonomically. I think Jolly's joke is between how he does drums on his finger-pressing-drummachine, and 'advice-from-a-guitarist'!

IMO some of the best advice I ever got on guitar is also good for any instrument including drums;;; Use your ears and adjust your technique to make things sound as intended.

We've all seen guitarist who absolutely chop-saw the strings with the pick, with basically no regard to the buzzing toneless chaos permeating through the speakers, or drummers who just pimp-slap the cymbals and strike everything in a "one speed only" manner that never delivers any variance of dynamics.
