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.

Rudimental Warm Up

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

'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.

'50 Ways To Leave Your Lover' - Drum Intro

Practise linear patterns between hands and hihat pedal.

7/8 Groove

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