Snappy 32nd Notes On The Snare

By Alex Ribchester Drum Beat Lessons, Drum Lessons, Level 2 Drum Lessons, Techniques & Concepts, Thursday Drum Lessons 32nd notes, Abe Cunn

Description

In this lesson, we are going to add pairs of snappy 32nd notes between the hi hats to add a bit of spice to our grooves. This is a cool little concept that has been often used by some of my favourite drummers such as Abe Cunningham from Deftones and Travis Barker from Blink 182. This video is also serving as a testrun for future videos with both my drums and voice miked up. Let me know what you think and bare in mind that this is merely a tester.
