Im not a drummer

Here's my top 5 drum kick 16th note lessons. Lesson 1 In this lesson, you will be able to develop the speed of your kick and how to do it clearly and steadily. Doing this as an exercise will also develop your stamina in drums most especially your footwork.  And here's the copy of lesson number drum notation.  It's is very useful if you know how to read drum notes and it's very easy to practise when you have these as your guide.  Lesson 2  In this lesson, if you are familiar of the song "Creep by Radiohead" this drum pattern is somewhat similar to the drumbeat in that song. Here's the drum notation for this lesson. Lesson 3 This is purely exercise to develop your quickness and precision with your snare drums and kick. Here's the drum notation on this one. Lesson 4 This is a variation of lesson number 3 and again, it will develop your stamina and precision on your kick. Thi

Lesson 1 - a very useful 16th note on snare which could be a quick fill in on some songs or could be a part of your groove. Lesson 2 - is another variation for the We will rock you beat that we did but this time we put another 16th note snare before the start of your two kicks.  Just refer to the video. Lesson 3 - I would think you will be stuck on this one because this is one of my favourite drum pattern.  If you add a little bit of your groove into it, you can make use of this drum beat on most of the songs. Lesson 4 - this is a bit tricky one but a very good replacement drum fill or could be another funky groove if you like.  You will have to try and play this one very slow at first and then progress to it. Lesson 5 - is a variation of Lesson 3 but also this is another nice drum pattern which can be a heavy rock or something funky depending on the feel that you will put into it. Lesson 6 - is a straight forward Trash Metal drum pattern as I call it es

Let's start off by reviewing the basic parts of the drum kit. Lesson 1 is the most basic in drumming and the generic drum beat or pattern where you can virtually use this on any song by just adjusting the tempo or speed of your drumming and how soft or loud you play it, plus do a little bit of variations like quarter notes open hi-hat or 8th note open hi-hat. Lesson 2 is the opposite of lesson 1 where you start with snare instead of kick or bass drum. This will develop your skills to not always start or play the drums with your dominant hand or foot for that matter. Lesson 3 is the very basic on how to play a straight beat or disco beat. Again you can always try variations like open hi-hat or closed. Lesson 4 is the opposite of lesson 3. Again this is to develop your skills to play drums by not starting with your dominant hand or foot. This a very good variation or improvisation technique for a drummer. Lesson 5 is a proper Rock beat or 8th beat.  If

The very basic drum exercise on March or what we call 2/4.  You will learn to play a steady snare with kick alternately. This is another useful drum lesson for a beginner, very basic and fundamental in learning how to play drums.  And then in preparation for the more advanced lessons like 16th notes, etc.  I can't elaborate further on this one but just take your time and learn it and be disciplined to practise and exercise this beat. Play it slow and gradually increase your speed on this one. Play loud versus soft.  Be consistent with your tempo.  Play it over and over again. Although this is a bit boring, simple and easy but it's very useful for you to learn and develop your stamina and strength in drumming.

This is a very useful pattern or drum exercises and you can use this as a variation to the song We will rock you by Queen.  A very important drum beat in the rock history.  Most of the drummers are using this drumbeat or pattern not only as an exercise for practise but also in making their songs.  This is rather very good drum pattern. The way to do it is steady 8th notes on the hi-hat then two 8th notes kick and two 8th notes snares.  Here's the video of how to do it.  You can always pause the video for the drum notes as well as refer to the video for more drum exercises and lessons. Cheers! Try and play this lesson as steady and as slowly as you can. Then play it as fast as you can. Also try the variations of soft and loud but always maintain tempo. 

Here in this lesson, you will learn to play We will rock you by Queen in the most and very simple way. There are a lot of ways to play it. But, the one that I saw and feel most comfortable is hitting the kick twice with right hand on floor tom then left on hi tom then snare.  Do it over and over again.  Or, just simple do it with 8th notes on closed hi-hat and then two 8th note kicks and a quarter note snare. Here's a video to illustrate it better. Just simply watch it as well as hear it how it sounds.  Also you can pause the video to see the drum notes.  This drum pattern is very easy and also very useful.
