Today we&#8217;re going to talk about limb independence &#8211; specifically lead-hand independence.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re just starting out on the drums, it&#8217;s difficult to separate your limbs and have them all do different things at the same time. If you want to start exploring different drum beats and fills, getting those hands and feet disconnected from one another is crucial. Simply put, you need to build limb independence to play what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five different drum beats you can practice to help free up your lead hand. Start slow! If you&#8217;re having trouble, try isolating one or two limbs first, then slowly put everything together.<\/p>\n<p>Right now you can get your very own book for just $29.99! It covers topics such as setting up your drums, maximizing your practice time, essential drum rudiments, hand technique tips, drum beats and fills, and so much more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/Drumeo.com\/beginner-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11475 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/12100002\/Untitled-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"96\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/12100002\/Untitled-4.png 500w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/12100002\/Untitled-4.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"email-form-include-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/weeklyemail\" frameborder=\"none\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you&#8217;re just starting out on the drums, it&#8217;s difficult to separate your limbs and have them all do different things at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11576,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4018,4015,4027],"tags":[4014,90,13,9,152,12],"class_list":["post-11568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technique","category-beginner-lessons","category-hand-technique","tag-beginner","tag-beginner-drum-lessons","tag-drum-lessons-2","tag-drumeo","tag-free-drum-lessons","tag-jared-falk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11568"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47609,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11568\/revisions\/47609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
