“16th Notes”

In Beginner Training Module 12 we go over applying the 16th notes to grooves on the kit.

We will primarily be addressing the Hihat and different ways to put a “Lope” or dynamic accent to it.

In the pdf, there are several other variations you can mix together to give you some ways to allow your creativity to expand.

Enjoy!

Here is Pt.2 of this hugely important interview on Hearing Preservation. Be sure to watch part 1 first.

One of the things that many musicians and drummers tend to neglect, is their hearing.  We strive for perfect in ear mixes, or monitor mixes.  Then we spend tons of money on the perfect pair of monitors for our studios that have the right frequency spectrum, all the while we have possibly lost the frequencies we need most  due to neglect of one of our most valuable tools.  Our ears!!  Michael Santucci, of Sensaphonics, is an expert in his field. To his credit, he is involved in not only producing the finest quality in ear amplification products, but at the top of his industry in promoting hearing preservation.  Be sure to watc both parts of this video interview with Michael and hear what he has to say about the importance of hearing preservation.  

As a drummer, I strongly urge you to make sure and at least get a pair of the high fidelity  in ear plugs.  You can choose whatever db reduction you want, but they are a must for practice and performance.  Especially, for us drummers.  Be sure to tell them you found out about them through GrooveisKing.com.
