8th and 16th Note Grooves (3)

Ok, this time again we're playing a combination of 8th and 16th notes on the hi hat with our lead hand, '2' and '4' on the snare drum with the following hand making the back-beat. The count is "1-E a, 2-E a, 3-E a, 4-E a" - this is possibly the hardest one to get because there is NO 'ands' played on the hi hat.

Practice the hands first so that you're comfortable with the rhythm on the hi hat and snare drum before adding the bass drums - which, when they're on the 'ands', will be on their own.

Click on the sheets below to work through the grooves at your own pace.
