Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Jim McCall. I'm going to show you this really cool sound and eighth note rock and roll baby. First I'm going to play it for you at a couple different tempos. Then I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works. In order to play this great sounding rock beat, first you gotta be thinking eighth notes.

Eighth notes are counted. One, and two, and three and four and I'm gonna play eighth notes with the right hand on either the ride cymbal, or the closed hi hat. It's gonna go like this. What man two, three and four and one Two and three and four and 123 and four and one and two, and three and four and one, two, and three, and four. Now I'm going to add the left hand, I'm going to play it on beats two and four. I have to coordinate everything together.

So every time I say to it every time I say for playing the left hand in unison with the right hand, it's gonna go like this. What? Three, three. This particular beat is a combination of eighth note rock and roll, video, lesson number three, and eighth note, rock and roll video lesson number seven. Now what's happening, I'm playing the bass drum on one eight And then on the and of three, and two and a four. I'm going to coordinate it together with the right hand, I'm going to do it slowly at first, what and two and three and four and one, and two, and three and four and one, two, and three, and four and one and two, three, and four, and one and two and three and four.

And. Now once you get comfortable with that, we're going to add the snare drum on beats two and four. It's gonna go like this. One, and two, and three, and four. Now once you get comfortable with that tempo, we're gonna pick up the speed a little bit what now we're gonna put some steam behind it 123 And there you have it another great sounding rhythmic pattern you can add to your repertoire at ultimate drumming calm.
