1/8th Note Grooves #6

,

In 4/4 time, there are eight 1/8th notes in each bar. The backbeat helps us to hear all 4 beats, but what if you organized the notes a little differently? In this lesson, the groove patterns you learn will follow a 3-3-2 sequence. Add that up you have your eight notes in the bar, but the grooves sound very different from what you are used to.

Good for beginners looking to follow a path

Nov 30/2024

I reviewed many of the sights and what I like about simpledrummer is a) there’s a sequence; be) it seems holistic; meaning many of the core aspects of drumming are covered and c) he goes SLOW. So many of the other sites make you feel inferior because they love to show off their speed and chops.

Great experience for a first timer

Kevin provided guidance so I could optimize my set up and jump right into working on skills and techniques to get started. It was really fun, and I’ll be back!
