A blog to help with learning and teaching Drums. Written by Theo Lawrence / TL Music Books.
Before attempting these you will need to have a solid ability in the basic foundation Jazz drum groove, which involves the left foot hi hat on 2 and 4, and the right hand on 1 2 3 4.
This sheet explores variations in the right hand ride cymbal over a constant 2 and 4 left foot hi hat. Once you have learned these you can then move onto learning left hand rhythms on the snare drum.
These are metal grooves that use the double pedal in an interesting way.
This sheet is ideal for a drummer that has been learning the double bass drum for a while, and has some reading knowledge. Hopefully this will give some people a few new ideas for creating their own double kick grooves.
Fast double kick drumming sounds great when executed with precision. Just remember, focus on accuracy and timing above speed, so start off practicing them slowly and correctly first.
