Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall. I'm going to show you this really fantastic sounding eighth note, Phil. First I'm going to play for you. I'm gonna break it down note by note and show you how it works. When playing this fill, I'm going to start on this symbol.

And I'm going to play every third note a crash on the symbol, all the notes in between are going to be on the snare drum. Now this is a to measure phrase. So when I get to the second measure, when I get to the third beat, I'm gonna play just straight eighth notes on the snare drum so I can resolve the pattern. This is the way it's gonna work. What and two and three and four Another way to think of this pattern is one note on the symbol two on the snare drum, one note on the symbol two on the snare drum, one note on the symbol two on the snare drum until I get the three of the second measure where I resolve it by playing, and four and on the snare drum. Now I'm going to add the foot each time I hit the cymbal.

This will make it sound a little bit more interesting. What and two, and three. Now, once you get comfortable with that speed, we're gonna pick it up a little bit. What A little faster 123 the tom toms can be substituted for the symbol, one and two and three and four. A great way to practice this pattern is to play four measures of the film then four measures Rafi what three This is another excellent eighth note film that you can add to your playing. Thanks for watching.
