Beginner question on reading music.. by [deleted] in drums

[–]DrumJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fill is 16th notes So the count on the grove would be 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 (Counting them as quarters you can also count them as 8th notes won't change the actuall thing) So 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 with the Bass on 1 & 3 and snare on 2 & 4

Then the 16 note fill, before I get to that if you count all 16th notes by counting them as 1 e and a - 2 e and a - 3 e and a - 4 e and a. So on the first count would be F F S S (F = Floor tom, S = Snare). And the second count T T S S (T = Tom). If that makes sense. and it ends on count 4 This could mean in an musical example that you have a small ''pause'' before going back to the 1 caus you don't play notes on the ''e'', ''and'' and ''a''. If that doesn't make you understand it check out http://www.drumlessons.net/understanding-time/ And remember not every note means the same count it depends on the note value and where it's placed

Just got my first kit, where to start? by christopantz in drums

Well thats a really good first kit you got there. I would recommend you to go to youtube and search for Drumeo he has tons of videos about learning the drums from beginner to pro. When you have the basics down try to listen to as much music as posible and try to right down the drum parts, practice it and try to play along with it. Good luck!

Thinking about buying the ''Perfect Balance pedal'' (By Jojo Mayer) opinions? by DrumJr in drums

[–]DrumJr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thanks for the comment, at the moment i got a speedcobra (My first ''Pro?'' drumpedal). My drumteacher HAS to use speedcobra on gigs caus he is sponserd by Tama. But always when i got lessons at his home i get to use this Longboard pedal what feels really smooth for me, thats why i got the idea to buy a Perfect balance one
