EDS Lesson Five Developing hi-hat lines
EDS Lesson Five Developing hi-hat lines
In Lesson 1, we learned how to build a rock groove, using quarter notes on the hi-hat.
This lesson applies the same process for building new grooves, but uses eighth notes and sixteenth notes for the hi-hat patterns.
Our first exercise develops our ability to play not only quarter notes, but eighth notes and sixteenth notes on the hi-hat, in preparation for the groove exercises to follow.
Up until now, we have only played subdivisions as fills.
Look at our first exercise. You will see that we use our hi-hat hand only to play this first exercise. If you are left handed play with your left hand and if you are right handed, play only with your right hand.
Remember to count out loud, start slowly and repeat until you feel comfortable, looping the exercise using your DrumXtractor.
