Not much (free, non rip-off) drumming software around really :/ I used to use dtab, its a drum tabbing program that could import tabs from the net. But the MPA are winkers and made most tab sites go down, including mxtabs which was the only real good one for drum tabs. You can still use it to tab out your own songs, but tbh, when learning drums its better to learn from music than tab, as its better suited for rhythm, compared to tab for fret posistions botched for drum and cymbals. 
However, the drum tab import is really good, as you can play back the song as midi to hear back just the drums of whatever song you want to learn. I think I wrote my disco coursework in it because I cba to buy a mic to record my drums 
Any way, dtab: xhttp://www.underwaredesign.com/prod_detail.php?id=14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I found the best stuff when I was learning was books with CD's, and a metronome. Theres a lot of free online video lessons too. Oh and a proper teacher
Though now I hardly ever play them and never really got that good, so dont take in a word I just said

Put padding underneath the drum skins.
Best way to learn is to get a book
Read while you play.

Can't wait to see Arma on the css server in a few weeks ranting about those "bloody drums".
Heard that if you seal up the gaps between the floor and doors it does muffle it a bit. I'd look for a good book or search the web for drumming tutorials/guides ripped from books. ^ It's how I'm trying to learn guitar(it's slower than having a teacher but it does get you there......I hope). |

I got these rubber mats for my drums; just circles you place on the drums and keyhole shapes you place on the cymbals. Unfortunately, they make them sound like shitake mushrooms. Thats the one annoying thing about drums, sometimes you cant practice when you want, like later in the evening. A teacher is good as they speed up learning and make you more disciplined. And also they might listen to different music than you so they also broaden your musical knowledge. |
