LESSON 5 PART 1

In rock music, the snare drum on 2 & 4 and the bass drum punctuating 1 & 3 are characteristic of the style, with the ride cymbal or hi-hat driving home the straight eighth note. In contrast, jazz drumming is based on the eighth note triplet, with the snare and bass drum serving as ornament and accent while the main time feel is heard in the ride cymbal and the hi-hat "chick" on 2 & 4.

The following ride cymbal/hi-hat combinations are not complex. The concentration should be on accurate rhythm, getting the best sound from your instrument and keeping steady time. Practice with a metronome set to 60 beats per minute. Eventually, all speeds should be mastered.
