This is Lesson Three of the Drum Tutorial I have written. It's for absolute beginners to drums and drumming. An easy and understandable way for people to learn how to play the drums. If you follow these tutorials at your own pace and you have a pinch of rhythmic ability before too long you will be able to hold a steady beat. If you haven't read it yet you better head over there now. Otherwise none of this will make sense to you. And now on to the lesson three...

Drum Lesson Three: The HiHat and Ride Cymbals together 

Now we'll mix these up a little so you go from the steady HiHat to the Ride, and on the repeat you change back.

The object of this exercise is that you practise until you can keep the beat without breaking or disrupting the tempo when changing from one cymbal to the other.

Things to consider 

The thought process behind being a drummer

  • Patience, practise and persistence.
  • When you feel comfortable with a beat and can play it by sight and from memory, and just by feeling your way through it, then you're ready to go onto the next lesson.
  • You must be able to do it in your sleep, so to speak. But go at your own pace.

Music is a basic instinct of man. It's primal. People find themselves drawn by music, compelled by music. It inspires, encourages, educates, drives and guides. It is an emotion that can be felt as much as it can be heard.
