Rock, Pop Triplet Drum Beat On The Toms For Beginners

Description

Learn a sweet little tom groove for beginner drummers. The beat sounds much more complicated than it is to play.

We simply play single stroke triplets on the toms and hit the snare on beats 2 and 4 while the feet emphasize the quarter notes. We will also be moving the left hand around the kit to provide some nice variations.
