When playing rhythms on the guitar, rhythm slashes are typically used to denote how you should strum a pattern. The bottomline is: there are usually 4 beats in each bar! For a start, most of the stuff you are going to learn here is based in 4/4 timing. Chances are, you will be able to count 1, 2, 3, 4 along to the beat naturally. To find out what I mean, simply turn on your radio and try to count along with the drum beat of any songs you are listening to. In layman’s term, this simply means that each bar of music contains 4 beats. Generally speaking, most of the songs and musical pieces you will come across will have a 4/4 time signature.
In this lesson, I will teach you how to play some basic rhythm patterns as well as how you can learn to strum them in tempo.īefore we delve deeper into the lesson, I would like to explain some basic music theory and notations used in music. The “10 Basic Rock Beats” sheet is one of the pages in the free PDF ebook (follow the first link below).Learning rhythms is part and parcel of developing yourself as a complete and well-balanced musician. Students can also do this on their own by putting on a song and just practicing one drum beat along with it, or finding another musician to jam grooves and drum beats with. Variation on the accompanying instrument can really add to the experience. Pupils can tire of repeating a drum beat on it’s own for several minutes (which is needed) but when playing along with another instrument it is fun and enjoyable to play for a while without stopping. If you are a teacher that can play bass, guitar or piano, try this with your students if you haven’t already. The most fun way to practice these is to jam them woth another instrument or a backing track. It isn’t as useful to just read and play them. These are for any beginners that have learned a basic drum beat, or maybe a few basic beats already and want to learn some more.īasic drum beats should be repeated for ages to be most effective in truely learning the beats. Here are 10 different rock drum beats, with notation and audio. Hopefully I can sort that out for future videos.īeat 1 00:26 Beat 2 05:25 Beat 3 07:11 Quarter Note Hi Hats / Ride / Floor Tom Right Hand Pattern: 8:28 Beat 4 09:56 Beat 5 10:53 Beat 6 11:44 Metronome Tips 12:00 Beat 7 12:50 Beat 8 13:36 Hi Hat Stick Height Tips 15:01 Individual Drum Volumes / Self Mixing 15:44 Beat 9 18:30 Beat 10 20:23 About the lesson sheet However, I was using my old phone to do this and it ran out of storage towards the end of the video, so it cuts off. This is my first drum kit video and I am pleased to have included 2 camera angles, to show the feet. I will also show you how they sound at slow, medium and fast speeds with a metronome. I will show you how to do variations on each beat, which will extend the contents of the sheet a lot, and give you ideas for practicing.
In this lesson we will run through 10 popular rock drum beats.
