Существует мнение, что количество повторений необходимо постоянно изменять: сегодня 6-8, завтра – 15-20. При малом числе повторений, мол, лучше прорабатываются «быстрые» волокна, то есть «силовые» компоненты мышц. А когда вы делаете много повторений, нагрузка перемещается на «медленные» волокна, отвечающие за выносливость. Однако есть и другая точка зрения: чтобы действительно нагрузить медленные волокна, необходимо делать сотни повторений – десятки тут не помогут. «Выносливые» компоненты мышечных волокон если и увеличатся в своем объеме, то крайне незн... more...

For today’s lesson we’re going to expand our rhythms for the kick drum in this groove setting. We’re still playing a steady flow of 16th notes phrased as Paradiddles with accents on beats 2 and 4. The idea is to download the PDF file that has 12 one bar patterns to practice playing on the kick drum. These rhythms are getting busier so it’s also a great workout for your kick drum as well. Enjoy!

We’re adding two more patterns to workout with on the kick drum. These rhythms are getting funky! We’re also getting busier with our rhythms as well by introducing our first three note possibility. Remember to slow this stuff down and make sure everything feels good before you move on to another rhythm or speed up the groove. Make sure you print the PDF file to get all 12 one bar grooves.

For Part 2, we’re going to add two new rhythmic figures to explore around the kit as fills. We’re still going to get use to these rhythms by practicing them on the snare drum only at first. Once comfortable, we’ll begin to move them around the kit. Remember to be creative and enjoy the journey!

Billy Ashbaugh: Hi-Hat Up Beat Groove Idea #1

Today’s lesson will take a look at playing the & or up beat pattern on the hi-hat during a groove. For now the snare will continue to play a nice solid rim shot for beats 2 & 4. This can feel a little strange if it’s your first time trying this. We’re going to ease into this by only playing 8th note figures on the kick drum for now. Don’t forget to download the PDF file for 12 one bar grooves to practice. Enjoy!

If you're not certain on the pattern, please check out one of the earlier lessons to get this down. The download PDF will provide you with 12 one bar patterns to practice on the kick drum. Enjoy!

Billy Ashbaugh: 1/2 Time Shuffle #4 - Workout #1

This is the final version of adding ghost notes to our 1/2 Time Shuffle. Today we're going to add the middle triplet to beat 3. This can be a little tricky at first. Remember you have to still hit the back beat as a rim shot then quietly tap the ghost note immediately after. I recommend getting the hand pattern down first, before you try playing the kick drum patterns from the PDF download. This is my favorite version to play. Enjoy!
