Music Theory & Percussion : How to Read Drum Music Notes

[LukesDrumsOnline]

Why are all the stems going up?

[Evanescence7654]

I thought the snare went on the 3rd lne

[mcgyvr2009i]

I beg to differ, the cross stick goes in the secnd space down.

This is what I was looking for! :O so easy! Thanks!

[dashingjavi]

how correct is this?

[TruthSayerLieSlayer]

Funny. When the video description is expounded it simply and eloquently states "In order to read drum music notes, a person doesn't need to know how to read..." But I guess if you couldn't read, you wouldn't know it said that.

[atheismrocks71]

How the hell do I get a different answer to where the snare goes and were the bass goes every place I look? Are people just guessing?

[issaceinstine]

does this guy have only like ONE shirt. :\

[TheTrickstermaniac]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! ^___^

[mrsojayco]

the snare is not supposed to be there...

[erikkakkire115]

i know how to play drum but i dont know how to read notes XD

[darahmerah10]

i think so it does have the same notes



[Danielgasm]

the snare goes on the second line...... epic fail XD

[mcgyvr2009i]

@Danielgasm Yes. He should probably say 3rd line next time Lawsuit! $_$ Just kidding, can't sue him for making mistakes. I wish you could... no not really.

[mcgyvr2009i]

@Danielgasm Or maybe it should be second space.

[FRISKIE889]

are the traditional and matched grip have the same notes???

[mrsojayco]

@FRISKIE889 yes!!

[johnnyjtuber]

Hi!- Nice, but what do you do as a excellent drummer, -looking for a good gig?

[screamodrummer1234]

the small little spot to the left of the board distracted me, and bugged me... so i had to watch twice.

[WoWdethwalkerWoW]

Helpful thanks

[dragonartist1204]

I've been using this specific video to learn how, but I probably need to write this down somewhere. But do the stems of the notes not point down after the third line or so? I know they do for trumpet but this is obviously a little different.

[RoxyStreet]

too cute teacher; hard to follow the boring theory ;-D

[striker19871]

[theantmo]

[ptbm07]

[L0LFA1L]

GReat vid! i am just learning that, and i need a bit more help, this was perfect! thanks!

[BLdrummer740]

Wow; I'm not a professional and I don't want to bash this guy ... but that's not how I've been reading my music.

I mean, bass, hi-hat pedal, hi-hat, and ride are correct ... but snare, toms, and crashes aren't.

[idoleli]
