com and you clicked on this lesson because you want to learn how to play
drums I'm going to teach you how to play drums under five minutes be sure to stay tuned until the end awesome surprise for you guys so let's
get this lesson started now the first thing and that you are
going to need to learn how to count I mean like and drummer now music is divided in the measures measures are divided into notes we're
going to divide this measure into quarter notes Quarters are always
four there's four quarters in almost everything
so we're going to count four notes one two three four that's one measure now I'm gonna take We Will Rock you We Will Rock You by Queen and we're
going to count quarter notes 1-2-3- 4 1-2-3-4 Now let's apply that to the drums if you have a drum set bring your
laptop up to the drumset and then play along if you don't have a
drum set then play along on your hands and knees
now when you count 1 you're going to have a
hi-hat any kick when you count 2 you're gonna have a high hat
and a snare wanna 3 you're going to have the same thing is
one which is a hi-hat any kick when I'm on 4 you're going to have the same thing is
2: Which is hi hat and snare now we're going to loop it so it sounds like this I now let's practice with a metronome is a very important for you guys to know
your ABC's of drumming which is Always Be Counting A B C now we're going
to do this at 60 beats per minute and you can get a metronome at the App Store or
the Android store 1 2-3 4 was pretty easy right now it's going to
get a little bit hard now we're going to take a
measure and instead of dividing in into quarter notes
we're going to divide in the 8 notes which is 8 notes one and to and 3 and 4 and that's 8 now how we're going to apply that to the drums it's the same thing is the quarter note groove but on all the and you're going to have a hi-hat
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and Now since that's a little bit tricky we're gonna
put that at 40 beats per minute in if you feel if
you hear something weird yes because it also counting 8 note 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and all right now that was fun and if you're having trouble its alright to
rewind it a couple times and make sure that your strokes are perfectly aligned with the metronome now let's play along to a song we love drums we love music so why not do it
together we're going to do it at a mix.
In the mix
is at 19bpm 90bpm and it's
just a mash-up of a bunch different songs and we're
going to be using that 8th note groove that I just taught you and
here we go Alright now I hope you liked that video I hope it taught
