Music For Everyone

Music

Music is an art and combination of notes and Math. Math is a key feature of music because it has different times in the form of a fractions such as; 

7/8
4/4
3/4
5/4
and so much more!

One of my favorite drummers is Buddy Rich. Rich began playing drums in vaudeville when he was 18 months old which means he has a lot of experience in drumming. He thought that drum tuition would only decrease his knowledge of music and drumming. He thought it would limit his capability of music. Here's a picture of him.

As well as instruments, there are also music games Such as;

Friday Night Funkin'
Beat Saber
The Beatles: Rock Band
Fuser
And So Much MORE!!!

Lastly, Aaron Spears.
Name: Aaron Spears Drums: DW Origin: Washington, DC
Born: October 26, 1976 Cymbals: Zildjian Sticks: Vic Firth

Aaron Spears’s love for music began in the Church of God and Christ – a pentecostal church in DC he went to with his parents as an infant. Music was a very huge part of the church he went to. Seeing and listening to the choir and to the backing musicians really struck a chord with little Aaron Spears. Being a part of that environment, expressing himself through music became a Dream of his. Fortunately for us, among all the musicians in the church band, the drummer was the one that captivated Aaron Spears’s attention the most. At about two, three years of age, Aaron Spears was already wailing his drumsticks in the air at church, while the church drummer preached his groove to the flock. From his parents’ car seat to the pew; Aaron Spears would just drum everywhere he could. The first time Aaron Spears was able to play without sitting on anyone’s lap was at the age of five. This allowed Aaron Spears to experience his first major drumming moment: playing through an entire song on his own.

Aaron Spears’s mother encouraged him to take lessons as he began playing. For about a week, Aaron Spears worked on basic drum rudiments with a teacher. Aaron Spears didn’t enjoy that experience and ultimately left his teacher. He didn’t get any other formal training until high school, where he joined the jazz and concert bands and learned how to read music. Aaron Spears’s development as a musician can be mainly credited to the music he listened to and ultimately played along to – which came from his parents' personal collection. Gospel artists like The Winans, Commission, The Hawkins, and Hezekiah Walker really opened up Aaron Spears’s ears to the world of drumming possibilities he had in front of him. For the following years, drummers like Dana Davies (The Winans), Michael Williams (Commission), Joel Smith (The Hawkins), and Gerald Heyward (Hezekiah Walker) fueled Aaron Spears’s drumming, creativity, and passion. As he grew older, Aaron began shifting his attention to some of the best groove and jazz-fusion drummers on the planet. This was around the time he was sixteen years old. It all started when he watched the video of Zildjian Day in New York (1987). Vinnie Colaiuta and Alex Acuña’s odd-time meters came across so well that Aaron Spears began researching about Vinnie Colaiuta and what he was doing with Sting. This led him to guys like Dennis Chambers, Dave Weckl, and Steve Gadd.

Just Like Dace Weckl, He has his own drumsticks:
