Drum Lessons

Buddy Rich Sixes

This is a six stroke pattern in triplets using the ride cymbal, snare and bass drum. You can play this pattern starting on any of the six notes.

Rudimental Warm Up

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

Kick Hat Snare 01

First get comfortable with F,R,L,F,R,L,R,L (whilst accenting the last 'L'). There rest is a variation on a basic paradiddle.

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.

Alternating Linear Fill

Play the linear pattern without accents. Next accent every third note, alternating between hand and foot. Switch hands.

32nd Note Inverted Doubles

With inverted doubles the pulse will be felt on the second stroke. Practise at low tempos to begin with.
