Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall. I'm going to show you this really great sound and alternating 16th note Rocky. First I'm going to play for you. I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works. When playing these alternating 16th note, rock beats, you gotta be thinking 16th notes 16th are counted one E and two E and three E and four E. And when I'm playing these speeds, I'm playing alternating 16th notes.

On the closed hi hat. I'm going to start with the right hand, it's going to go like this. What and two and three and four, and a one e and a two B and, and a four, and a one e and a two E, and a three E and a four. Now I'm going to take the right hand Add and move to the snare drum every time I get the beats two and four, while still maintaining the 16th notes on the hi hat. It's going to go like this one, and a two, and a three and a four. In this speech, I'm placing the bass drum on beats one, and beats three and I'm going to put it all together with the alternating 16th notes on the hi hat, while the right hand still playing on two and four, nice and slow.

What E and two E and three, E and four Now the idea is to get comfortable with that speed then we're gonna pick the tempo. It's gonna go like this. A great way to practice this excellent sound and beat would be to play two measures B two measures Phil. Two measures B two measures Phil. Something like this one and a two B There you have it another excellent sounding rhythmic pattern you can add to your growing repertoire. I'm Joe McCall.
