All the technicalities of drum playing can't be explained just like this. I can explain to you how to play the most basic 4-4 beat though. It still takes practice to master if you're a beginner.

  1. Sit behind the drum kit, right foot on the bass pedal, left foot on the high-hat pedal (pressing it down), a stick in each hand loosely gripped towards the back end of the stick.
  2. Count like this: one-an-two-an-three-an-four-an-one-an-two.....continuously in a steady, timed beat.
  3. On "one" you press down the bass pedal so it strikes the head exactly on the "one" count. Do this on the "one" and "three" counts. Try it for a while until it feels natural.
  4. Now add the snare drum, played with you left hand on the "two" and "four" counts. Now you will start seeing a pattern: bass-snare-base-snare....
  5. Here is where the more difficult part comes in, adding the hi-hats. With your left hand, strike the hi-hat on every count . one-an-two-an-three-an-four-an-one... Once you master this pattern, you will feel quite accomplished at this point.
  6. Now you can start depressing the hi-hats by lifting your left foot on the "an" just before the "one" then pressing it down again on the "one" count.
  7. You can strike the crash cymbal with your left hand one the "one" count.

Once you have mastered this very basic beat, you are well on your way to becoming a drummer. Seek tuition if you find you like the drumming.

Depends on what drum you are playing. If you are playing a a normal drum kit you strike them ( as my teacher would say) with drum sticks or brushes, or tympani sticks. Bongo drums are struck with your hands or fingers. It depends where hit the drum on what sound you get!
