Enter Sandman- Part2+3

Here are the pushes that run through the intro section every four bars. Again count and take your time with them, make sure you don't change your bass drum pattern as you play the cymbal hits or forget the high tom notes on 2 and 4

Enter Sandman-Metalica

Here's the basic groove for the Intro to Entersand man we looked at. Remember that the left hand is playing  beats two and four on the top tom AND NOT ON THE SNARE DRUM :-). Spend some time getting really comfortable with this groove as it will make learning the pushes much easier later on and count!!!

Groove to Valerie

This is the groove to Amy Winehouse's cover of valerie and uses the 1\4 note co-ordination we've been looking at. The tempo on the track is pretty brisk so stay relaxed and don't play any part of the groove too loud or heavy. It's tight and light all the way through!!! watch out for the straight 16th note fills on the bridge into the choruses. Good Luck!!!

1/4 note groove ex 1

Here's the quarter note groove co-ordination w've been looking at. Read it carefully and one you have got it try playing it with a "swung" feel (i.e swing the bass drum part ;) )
