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...

Deep Purple - 'Fireball' Drum Intro

Get the double bass pattern down first. You can play this with a slight swing to give the right feel.

'Rock And Roll' end solo

R,L,F is a signature Bonham triplet. Move it around the kit.

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.

Foo Fighters ‘Rope’

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