Drum Lessons

12/8 Groove

Count this out at slow tempos in order to get comfortable with the 12/8 feel. Count every second 8th whilst playing to improve timing.

Walk This Way - Drum Intro

Timing the bass drum with the open hihat bark is the key to nailing this beat.

'Immigrant Song' Drum Beat

Practise the bass drum double separately then introduce the hands.

'Rock And Roll' end solo

R,L,F is a signature Bonham triplet. Move it around the kit.

Kick Hat Snare 05

Practise the 6 stroke roll: R,L,R,R,L,L. Next play it in groups of three as triplets.

Kick Hat Snare 08

Practise the 'closed' roll on the edge of the snare. See how many times you can get the stick to bounce on each hand. Then increase the tempo.
