Key to stave: black dot bottom space = bass drum, black dot second space = snare drum, top cross = hi-hat. Hit at the same time if they're in line. Count '1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &'.

Do you like Oasis and Wonderwall? Can you play a backbeat and crack between the ticks? Many drum beats feature the bass and/or snare played at the same time as the hihat. It's more fun to hit between the hihat ticks. Try playing 16th semiquavers between the 8s quavers. Play along to Oasis:

'Backbeat, the word is on the street, that the fire in your heart is out. I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt'

What's the difference between a down stroke and an up stroke in drumming? Accents make fills interesting. A down stroke starts high and ends low and an up stroke starts low and ends high. Try the double paradiddle below and watch Bruce Baker explaining up and down strokes on Drumeo (at 34:20)

Is the music tempo too high to learn the drum groove? Are the beats per minute too fast? Try using the Chrome browser extension Global Speed. You can slow down Spotify audio when it plays in a web page at https://open.spotify.com/. Click on the browser icon and select a lower speed. Learning drum beats is a cognitive process so you need time to think what to do with your limbs when learning new beats.

Do you know when to hit the next note on your drums? Can you read music? Can you count the number of tails on notes and rests? Many notes and rests have a stem and tail. The number of tails indicates the duration of the note and when to hit the next note. In 4/4 time there are four quarter beats in the bar which may be divided and counted as 1e&a-2e&a-3e&a-4e&a. Crochets have no tail and are four sixteenths long (1/4 notes). Quavers have two tails and are two sixteenths long (1/8 notes). Semiquavers have two tails and are one sixteenth long (1/16 notes). Try playing the two examples below. Thump the bass drum on 1 2 3 4. (The notes are red and the rests are blue.)

Can you play paradiddle grooves on the drums with your feet as well as your hands? A forward paradiddle is played with RLRR LRLL. Start by hitting the ride cymbal with your right stick and the snare with your left. This may be vocalised as 'boom-crack-tick-tick' and 'crack-tick-crack-crack'. Then try thumping the bass drum with your right foot and the snare drum with your left hand vocalised as 'boom-crack-boom-boom' and 'crack-boom-crack-crack'. Move on to the inward and reverse paradiddles if you fancy a challenge.
