Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall. I'm going to show you these really cool sound and 16th note rock and roll beats first I'm going to play them for you. I'm going to break them down note by note and show you how they work. One and two and three. In order to play these great sound and 16th note, rock and roll beats, you got to be thinking 16th notes.

16Th notes are counted one E and two e and a three E and a four E and I'm playing the ride pattern with 16th notes. So everything that I say I'm going to be playing a note with the right hand either on the hi hat, or the ride cymbal, like so. What e and a two e and a three and a four, two e and a three and a four Left hand is going to go on beats two and four. I'm still counting 16th notes. So every time I get to two and four, I'm going to add the left hand, it's going to go like this, one e and a two e and a three and a four and a one. bass drum is going to be playing a combination of quarter notes, eighth notes and 16th notes.

Now when I'm adding the bass drum, it has to correspond with the notes that I'm playing with the right hand the 16th notes and this particular beat. The bass drum is going on beats one beats three and and Up, up three, once again beats one Free and I'm going to put it all together. It's going to go like this one and a two e and a three and a four. Now once you've coordinated all that together, we're going to pick up the speed a little bit. One e and a two e and a three and a four. So you got a really cool beat going on.

A great way to practice this would be to play a couple measures on the closed hi hat. switching over to a couple measures On the ride cymbal, couple measures hi hat couple measures ride. Some will say get used to switching back and forth, something like this. There you have it another excellent sounding rhythmic pattern you can add to your drumming repertoire. Joe McCall. Thanks for watching.

I'll see you soon at ultimate drumming calm
