Here's a relatively basic lesson using some tried and true grooves. For some of
you these may be very basic, or relatively basic. Hey, check out some of the
archived lessons for something more challenging! Just let your imagination flow
a little with these grooves and you'll find some new and useful grooves here.
We'll just be combining some 16th note rhythms together, for some very usable grooves.
True & tried grooves for many styles of music.
This second pattern is not as common as number one. It can be heard in music
from Brasil and, in a somewhat lesser extent, from Cuba and other Caribbean
countries. Combining this pattern with bass drum and snare will provide some
nice work for interdependence (or independence, depending on how you conceive of
the concept). It1Ž4ll also give you some new inspirations for different sounding
grooves and patterns.
The third pattern comes to me from the drum called “chico3Ž4, from Uruguay.
You1Ž4ll notice an accent above the first 16th note. When practicing at first,
leave this accent out. This pattern is difficult enough without adding an
accent. The accent does give this pattern a real different swing.
