Drum Lessons

Walk This Way - Drum Intro

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

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.

Sneaky Shuffle Variation

Time the drop of the stick to allow the ghostnote to land between the shuffle pattern. There is no need for much force here, simply timing.

U2 - 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' Drum Intro

Try to play each drum at the same dynamic level to create the marching feel of this song.

Foo Fighters ‘Rope’

Practise playing the bass drum with the crash cymbal on your weaker hand (See bar 3) @ 2mins 50.

Sting - Seven Days (basic pattern)

A hypnotic pattern in 5 which sounds easier than it really is.
