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.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Dani California' Intro

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

Rudimental Warm Up

Use fingers to help with the left hand triple strokes. Use bounce for the quick ruffs.

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.

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.
