Drum Lessons

Street Beatz 02

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.

7/8 Groove

Use a metronome at a low tempo to memorise the intricate rhythms before you attempt them at full speed.
