We interact with hundreds of drummers each week. Whether it happens while having conversations with the Drumeo community or giving feedback on member videos, we notice many of the same issues coming up when drummers are practicing or playing live.

Have you been making any of these 12 mistakes? Here are the recurring issues we see a lot, and how you can get past them:

1. Not practicing a healthy drumming diet (of theory and technique)
2. Becoming obsessed only with things you can measure
3. Trying to buy results
4. Thinking you don’t need a teacher
5. Thinking you don’t need to know how to read sheet music
6. Practicing for fewer long sessions instead of more short sessions
7. Putting yourself down
8. Trying to buy your way to a good sounding kit
9. Trying to learn too much at once
10. Rushing drum fills
11. Practicing on an electric kit and expecting the results to translate to an acoustic kit
12. Practicing showmanship over groove

Here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas -- and a Happy New Year with LESS of these common drumming mistakes :)
