Lesson 1.1 - Getting Started (Bars/Metronomes/Note Values)

FREE WEEKLY DRUM LESSONS

In the first lesson of the "I Hit Drums - A Beginner's Guide" podcast, we cover pages 7-12 of the book, where you'll work though the following:

• Understanding Bars


• Using A Metronome


• Note Values - inc. Quarter Notes, 8th Notes and 16th Notes

All of the exercises are based around single sticking, which means Right, Left, R,L,R,L etc.

The purpose of these first exercises is to get your hands used to working together rhythmically and to also translate notes on the page into actual rhythms. Pages 1-6 cover Drum Kit identification and Setup, along with a notation key and with a variety of stick holding grips to try out, so be sure to read through these first pages.
