Let's Trade Fours: Rock @ 120 BPM

This is a play along video of me trading fours with you. Plug in your head phones and let's trade fours. If this works I plan on doing lots of styles and tempos.  It starts off simple and gets more complex as it goes, but I never really get to crazy so you should be able to play right along and have fun.  Let me know if there are any styles you would like to trade fours in.  Thanks

This is a video I made in response to Brian who asked me to put up something a little easier. The edits are a little weired because I had to get it down under 10 min. If something does not make sense please let me know. I am using my new 6.5 x 13 Six Gun snare tuned very low. Basic lick - 0:30 Orchestration - 1:32 How to add the Hi-Hat - 2:20 Slow orchestrations - 4:16 Fast orchestrations - 5:13 Advanced orchestrations - 6:00 60 BPM - 7:13 80 BPM - 7:59 100 BPM - 8:27 120 BPM - 8:49 How to practice - 9:10

Here is a simple exercise that will help you get faster at doubles and singles in succession on the bass drum. It is also a good warm up exercise and if moved around the kit makes a decent fill. Sticking: R L K K R K L K R L K K R K L K R L K K R L K K R K L K R K L K

32nd note drum fill lick lesson

by drumennut on 01/29/2011 | 5,444 Views | 1 Comments

Watch Now

This lesson is a tiny bit sporadic; the original idea was to teach a short lesson on the 32nd note lick on beat 4. As I was filming I kept getting new ideas and kept adding to the video. It turned out to be 40 minutes of video, which I squeezed down to 10. The concept here is to show how small ideas can go a long way if you take the time to experiment with them. Have fun and practice slow, there is a little something for everyone in this one.

This is a linear version of the half time (purdie) shuffle. I also use it towards the end as a really fast groove fill, idea. Link to the sheet music. Please let me know if this link works.
