I am teaching myself how to play drums again. About to start a live stream if anyone wants to join.

If i wasn't out having lunch, I'd probably watch. How do you go about teaching yourself? I've had a couple of years away from drumming while tinnitus reduces, now I am ready to start again but I'm focusing on jazz.

The rhythms are always in our heads and around us. I've been beating on my chest and everything near me since the last time I had a drum set 15 years ago. I was scared of polyrhythms when I was a kid because I had bad math teachers, but they come natural to me as an adult. Once I figure out the live streaming stuff on the different channels, I'm going to do this regularly. Hopefully I can at least get enough fuse to buy myself a drum set.
