8 very essential easy basic 8th note drum lesson

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 you want to progress your drumming and prefer Rock music, then this is your baseline or fundamentals to it. This is the very basic into rock.



Lesson 6 is similar to the song We will rock you of the band Queen. Now we are doing a lesson with song association.  Try this one and you'll enjoy playing.



Lesson 7 is a variation of lesson 6.  The most simple and easy drum pattern to play.  Also this is a very good drum exercise.



Lesson 8 is the last but not the least to our basic 8th note drum lesson. This is similar to a March drum beat.  This pattern is very useful in understand the 2/4 bar because in Rock music we normally use 4/4. Also this is a very good drum exercise.
