Summary: When playing a rock beat on the drums, create a groove by hitting the snare drum every four count. Learn how to include the snare drum when playing rock beats in this free video on rock drumming from an experienced drum instructor.
"What we're going to do is now lift up the hi hat on the end of four, all right. So just right after you hit that snare on that four, you're going to be lifting it up. So think four and, four and, four and. All right, so here we go. Give you a four for nothing, I'm grooving, and then lift it up on the end at four. Get it up. All right, here we go. One and two, three and four, go, one and two and three and four, and one and two and three and four, and one, two, three and four, and one and two, three and four, and one, two, three and four. And any of these beats that you're really--any of these beats that you're really going to be playing, if you play them faster, per se, they could sound a little funkier, such as this. Yeah, kind of like that."
