EDS Lesson Two  Introducing eighth notes

Three way co-ordination

The full pattern has the hi-hat on all four beats, the snare drum on beats 2 and 4 and the bass drum on 1, 3 and the ‘+’ of 3. Remember, it is fine to start with two way co-ordination and build up to three way once you feel comfortable. You could start with hi-hat and snare; then snare and bass drum; then hi-hat and bass drum; then put all three together.
