Video Transcript

"Let's break up some sixteenth notes, eighth notes and quarter notes and let's throw them down all around the drums. So what I'd like to do is let's try this. We're going to do quarter notes, two quarter notes so one, two and then we're going to do a pattern of eighths on the tom, three and then sixteenth notes on the floor tom. So it's going to be like this without playing. One, two, three, and four e and uh, one, two, three and four e and uh. So let's get that quarter note pulse kicking in your head. Here we go so it is one, two, three, and four e and uh, one, two, three, and four e and uh, one, two, three, and four e and uh. And that's only one option. You can do, there is hundreds of possibilities that you can do with quarters, eighths and sixteenths breaking them up around the drums so you could even do some sixteenth eighth quarters so sixteenth note snare, eighth note tom, quarter note on the floor tom. So one, two, three and four and, one, two, three and four and one e and a two, three, four and, and that's just another possibility."
