Drum Lessons

Linear Drum Beat

Learn the R,L,F and L,R,F combinations slowly and lightly with an emphasis on moving from the forearm/elbow.

Street Beatz 01

Practice linear patterns between snare, hihat and kick in 4/4. RLF, LRF etc.

Kick Hat Snare 06

Practise a roll between hand and foot. F,R,F,R etc. This will help with the start of 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.

Insane 4-way Co-ordination

Try playing the left side ostinato without doubles as a 16th note pattern, to begin with...
