Groove excercise

The goals for this lesson is:

  • to play a number of slightly challenging beats
  • to keep a beat steady on a long period of time
  • to vary the beats without strolling away from the fundamental rhythmic structure

 

First play each beat separately. Then combine the beats written on each line making two bar patterns!

Finally add fills, crashes, different hihat openings and even try to improvise around the basic rhythmic structure of the beats.

Be sure to stick to this structure - you should be able to hear this clearly. Make small changes over time and return to the "basic pattern" frequently!

This is an example of how it may sound.
