How to be a successful drummer with the help of Social Media

Once you get used to playing the RAV Vast and learn the basics, you’ll probably wish to share your musical experiments on social media (and perhaps, raise some money on it). This can not only bring you fame and new followers but may also be highly beneficial for your musical skills and mastery level. You can still keep on playing for yourself for therapeutical purposes or just for your artistic self-expression. 

Create your channel

How to become a professional drummer? Everything you need to start is your RAV drum and your phone. You don’t need to have a professional movie camera for $1000, light or background to start filming. The only thing we would recommend to get – is the right mic. Check out how to find a good option for your RAV Vast or RAV Pan here.

There are multiple options to start streaming: create a YouTube channel, Instagram or TikTok account, or share your music pieces on Facebook. YouTube is an excellent choice as it is a 100% music video channel where many beginner and professional musicians share their compositions. There’s no shortage of handpan drum YouTube videos, so you can jump right into the niche with your RAV.

Instagram and Facebook are good for everyday sharing. Post some short pieces in Stories daily and share 1-minute long compositions in your feed.

Give a dog a bad name and hang him. Think carefully about giving your channel/account a good name. Be sure it’s easily memorable, searchable, isn’t too complex, or repeats any popular brand. Let the name showcase your personality and the vibes of music you bring.

Choose the format

Choose the format of your content. These may be short daily improvisations or patterns. You can also make some easy drum cover songs to learn and perform them with your RAV.

Before/after the format is a great way to show your improvement. After little practice, you can move to make longer videos. Go outside and take a video while walking. Use this background to apply the soundtrack after – and you’ll get a fantastic video!

Once you find out what you and your followers love the most, stay consistent, and follow this format. If you check most brands and artists, you will see that they have their special unique style of content that clearly distinguishes them from others. If you are serious about becoming a drummer, find your style and follow it. Remember, consistency is the key.

Join other’s activities

There’s no shortage of different challenges and musical contests. Join as much as you will get motivated more of great content. Get some inspiration from other participants and successful drumming reviews. Even if you don’t win the first place prize, you will still take advantage of pushing yourself to the unknown land and extending your musical limits.
