Drum Lessons

Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Dani California' Intro

Work on one-handed ruffs, bass drum double-strokes and, of course, timing and feel...

32nd Note Offbeat Groove

Work on the hi-hat pattern first. Next introduce bass drum. Introduce the snare when you can play steadily between hihat and bass drum.

'Rock And Roll' end solo

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

Kick Hat Snare 01

First get comfortable with F,R,L,F,R,L,R,L (whilst accenting the last 'L'). There rest is a variation on a basic paradiddle.

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.
