The HomeKeys: the way to learn therudiments of keeping time • The Drummer is both a timekeeper and a foundation with a bass player of any music group
The Learning of the HomeKeys: developing a protocol-practice regime • Learning the different ways which the parts of the HomeKeys interact with each other. • Now we speak about more of the parts of the kit
The “Boom-Chick” Technique • On the downstroke of the bassdrum, the followup is with the highhat pedal stroke • Then simultaneously with the adding of a • stroke of the right hand on the upper hat cymbal, and a stroke on the snare-drum
The Highhat “Boom-Chick Technique” • You learn to navigate around a drum-kit by transitioning from one technique to another • The next technique we cover is a snare drum, bass drum combination
We are of course speaking of new drummers with some knowledge • A beginner has to have had some level of self-study, you can’t expect to pick up upon this without having done your homework (reading) • The goal we’re looking to achieve is progressive Independence
What we’ve discussed would either be in 3-4, or 4-4 time • Which means to play in 3-4 3 beats in each measure and back to the top of the measure • 4-4 is one bass pedal stroke (beat) on each every beat, as opposed to 3 out of 4 in 3-4
