Drum Lessons

Linear Drumming Pattern

A good warm up exercise. Focus on clean strokes with good time at lower tempos. Accents can be alternated between hand and foot.

Halftime Groove & Fill

Play with a metronome set to a low tempo and count in 16ths.

Walk This Way - Drum Intro

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

Street Beatz 02

Work on good dynamics between snare ghostnotes and accents.

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.

Unison Fill

Practise moving from flams to unison and back again to improve accuracy. This example is mostly finger work.
