It's incredibly frustrating to me still to try an coordinate all four limbs AND count and try to figure out more than 1-2-3-4. Even something like 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &with the Hi-Hat on every eighth note and the snare on 1 and the bass on 3, like the simplest beat in the world according to the Youtube people, is still out of reach. I don't want to give it up, but there must be something ingrained that I just don't possess.

It's like learning guitar all over again. It kills me that I have put in years to playing guitar, just for myself, and can kind of play a no-frills song, but some 19 year old junkie can pick up a six-string and just shred despite only taking two lessons when he was like 12.

I spent a lot of time messing around with a wah pedal which seems to have helped with my right leg, but I still end up doing guitar faces along to the kick drum. Left leg has a mind of its own, though. I feel you on the people who just seem to naturally get it, I've got pretty clumsy hands.

It's a bonus that you're bashing on stuff on drums, it's its own stress relief.

If anyone notices the bump to this thread: anyone have any tips on how to count bars while playing? Every other instrument I play (mediocrely, mostly, but I'm mainly doing this just for myself for fun) I don't have this issue, whether from memory or sheet music. But put me behind my drums and tell me to play x number of bars and after one I have no clue how many bars I've played. No problem keeping count inside any bar.

Move over to my classical guitar and I know exactly where I am. Electric guitar, mandolin, flute, whatever, ive never been lost this way.

Am I just using up all three remaining braincells on lingering limb independence issues on my left leg? (Hooray partially open high hat...)

It's not exactly getting in the way of practicing. I'm having a lot of fun, just feel retarded.

Click track.
Open music software.
Enable click track.
Depending on what you want to do program in a short noise that is different to the click track for every 8 bars, do the same for every 16 bars. Then loop it.
Save it and play along to it.

Most click tracks go ...^...^

Yours will go ...^...boomshanka ...^...SNEED

There is a massive amount of flexibility with this and it is very easy to do

Do you have a recommendation for a music program or a click track program or something? I know there's that kind of capability on the electronic drum set I have but haven't ever tried to mess with it.
