A Dennis Chambers-inspired 'fat foot' technique which involves playing the hihat and slave bass pedal together.

Buddy Rich Sixes

This is a six stroke pattern in triplets using the ride cymbal, snare and bass drum. You can play this pattern starting on any of the six notes.

Guitar Center Solo

Learning the R,L,R,F combination is key to playing this pattern.

Toto - 'Africa' Drum Beat

Play the bass drum hits on beat 1 & 3 slightly louder to create more of a bossa nova/samba feel.

Try this on the practise pad first. Get comfortable with the right hand sticking as much of the bass drum pattern copies this.

Kick Hat Snare 02

Practise paradiddles with and without accents. Next try starting them on the offbeat.
