Hi Lisa, I am a beginner and have to learn some really slow drum beats, the singer likes to sing slow originals and Leonard Cohen type songs, any tips for these type of beats,

thanks

Margot

@Serryblue22 Believe it or not, the hardest part will by far be keeping your temp steady and not speeding up. Keep it simple and just focus on your tempo. Play with a metronome in your ears if you can. There are even free online ones.
