I want to get good enough to play for a indie group (soft rock/pop)

how to learn to play drums without drums?

I do not have the money to buy a drum set, but I really want to learn to play drums? The only thing that I would afford to buy is a pair of drum sticks. I’m 20 and I think it would take me a few years to save up the money to buy a set (even the basic ones) since I can’t get a job now and I’m still in school. My question is, could I learn by using the drum sticks that I have and hitting on different surfaces around my house like the table or the chair?

Thanks in advance!

Learn To Play Drums (Part 6) – Quick, Easy, Simple! (Beginner Basic Rock Beat)

www.DrumsTheWord.com This is part 6 of a series of beginner videos in which I demonstrate for you the first few drum beats every drummer learns when they start out as a beginner. This beat uses quarter notes on the Hi-Hat. It’s a really simple, easy and fun drum groove to learn and will start you on your way to greater things! By the end of this video you will have learned how to play this beat and would have seen the beat played at three different tempos – slow, medium and fast. This clip is taken from a video series I intend to complete some time in the near future. I couldn’t resist sharing it with you right now though as I think it will be really useful for a lot of drummrs just starting out now.
