Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Jim McCall. I'm going to show you this really cool, alternating 16th note rock and roll beat. First I'm going to play for you. I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works what when playing these alternating 16th note rock beats You got to 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 gonna go like this. One, and two, and three and a four, and a one e and a, two B and, and a four, and a one e and a two e and a three and a four. Now I'm going to take the right hand and move it to the snare drum. Every time I get two 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. When I'm playing this excellent sound and 16th note, rock and roll bead, I'm placing the bass drum on beats one and the end of two, three and in the end of four.

So in other words, the bass drum is playing on every eighth note that I say, with the exception of the two and four, which I'm playing on the snare drum with the right hand. I'm going to coordinate it all together real nice and slow. What E, and two, and three. Now you want to get comfortable at that tempo then we're going to pick up the speed, a little But what an excellent way to practice this cool sounding pattern would be to play two measures 16 16th note beat while by two measures to measure 16th note beat. Two measures fill something like this There you have it another excellent sound and rhythmic pattern that you can add to your drumming repertoire.
