Description

How to play the drums. In this weeks lesson we have a go at a cool kick drum drum exercise that focuses on 32nd note double strokes. The pattern has an underlying groove and can parts of it can be used as a drum fill. Think of it as an over the top version of 'We Will Rock You' by Queen with a whole load of extra notes.
