How To Count Eighth Notes - Beginner Drum Lessons

[thebmeat]

hey jared, i noticed your double pedals are awful closed together. any advantages to this? i actually seem like to like my legs spread more becuase theyre easier to lift and control. also about how close to center should the bass drum beaters strike (vertically)? thank you, great lessons!

[slashcadd9202012]

Hi, just wondering on exercise 6 is there a reason your hitting those particular toms or can you just pick which ones to hit? Someone please awnser im only new to drums :)

@slashcadd9202012 Hey I also don't have drums yet. The cool thing about drums that I know, I'ts a feeling. So you can hit ANYTHING if you have rythm! AWESOME!!

So 8th notes is just counting 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and ... like that? thats it?

[thebmeat]

@pugs321 yes, but notice that he stikes on the head bob downard..AND the headbob when it reaches its peak. you can count naturally this way. a qauter not would be just striking on the downward headbob motion thing
