Beginner - Drum Lesson #1


heres my first drum lesson for you. i will make many different lessons. starting from beginner, and up to some advanced stuff.

first of all, when you are playing your drums you have to keep a steady rhythm. Counting while you play helps keep you in rhythm. for this lesson, i want you to count like this:

1 2 3 4

understand? okay, lets get started!

H = hi-hat
S = Snare
B = Bass

start doing these things slow, and once you can do them very well, speed up.


   1 2 3 4
H| x x x x |
S|         |
B| o       |

   1 2 3 4
H| x x x x |
S|     o   |
B|         |

those are simple, right? now put them together.

   1 2 3 4
H| x x x x |
S|     o   |
B| o       |

there you go! your first beat of many millions to come! once you master that, we will get a little more advanced.

   1 2 3 4
H| x x x x |
S|     o   |
B| o o   o |
   1 2 3 4
H| x x x x |
S|     o   |
B| o     o |
   1 2 3 4
H| x x x x |
S|     o   |
B| o o     |

alright, good job. now, try this one:

C = crash cymbal

   1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4 
C| x                                  |
H|   x x x  x x x x  x x x x  x x x x |
S|     o        o        o        o   |
B| o          o      o          o     |

thats not too hard, is it? now lets do some stuff thats even harder!

   1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4 |
C| x                                  |
H|   x x x  x x x x  x x x x  x x x x |
S|     o        o        o        o   |
B| o          o      o o        o     |

   1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4 
C| x                                  |
H|   x x x  x x x x  x x x x  x x x x |
S|     o        o        o        o   |
B| o o   o    o      o     o    o     |
