  • 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
