COOL ROCK, POP, DANCE DRUM BEAT – BEGINNER (ISH)

By Alex Ribchester Drum Beat Lessons, Drum Lessons, Level 2 Drum Lessons, Thursday Drum Lessons beginner, dance, disco

Description

For this week's lesson we have got classic 4 on the floor groove with some linear elements. It is a two measure phrase which works great in a rock and pop context with a dance feel to it. As a bit of a bonus, we also move it around the toms to rock it up even further. This lesson is aimed at drummers between beginner and intermediate level.
