EDS Lesson Six Developing rock grooves
We have now studied how to play not just quarter notes on the hi-hat, but also eighth notes and sixteenth notes. As a result, we are developing a wide range of grooves to use when playing music.
Accordingly, we can now look at varying these patterns further by changing, for instance, the bass drum pattern, as we did at the end of Lesson 2. This will provide us with an even larger library of grooves to play, whilst developing our control of the drums.
You are now familiar with how to build your patterns up step by step. We have, therefore, laid the patterns out clearly for you to read and understand. You should then run through them all with the help of the relevant multimedia files.
There are six bass drum variations (exercises) and three hi-hat patterns (quarter notes, eighth notes and sixteenth notes) to work through So that means you have a total of eighteen exercises in this lesson.
