improving drum skill

It's not actually about multitasking. Only some drummers can really "multitask" and only in specific contexts (Chris Dave).

First, make sure your wrist are relatively straight and your whole hands and arms are relaxed, for safety. Look up drum corps tutorials better mechanical skills, learning how to properly diddle is really the biggest thing (I learned to fake it, so when I need that extra control that a real diddle gives you I don't have it).

Then learn songs, exactly as they are played. This will train your ear, playing along to them will train your internal metronome, and everything you learn will be useful in other contexts once you've internalized them. Always be learning challenging things, too. This means there is something happening that you're hands aren't used to.

Like I said, it's not about multitasking. The trick is ingraining patterns into your hands. The effect is multiplicative. Once you've got a bunch of stuff in your hands, you'll have the tools to be creative with what you know and rearrange things, making up new things on the fly. You need to practice this too, but first you need all the tools in your hands.

I'll call this the Led Zeppelin drum learners list. Do it or don't, it'll give a great foundation for rock/blues/fusion (if you go to the challenging ones). Do them in the order listed (don't worry if it doesn't sound perfect, a lot of the sound of drums comes from good production and that is definitely true of Zep):

6/4 (Go easy on this, it has some harder licks/fills, learn those or fake them)

Very Challenging:

Half-Time Shuffle, very useful (also learn Rosanna-Toto if you're bold)

yeah it's actually not about multi tasking. the easiest way i found on how to get better is to find easy drum beats that i can hardly play and play them extremely slow until you can do it without messing up. also practice every day

Four Sticks is actually the most challenging
