Mid Tom T3 ? Low Tom / Floor Tom 1 B1 ? Bass Drum B2 ? Second Bass Drum By Lorenzo (50caliberdrummer) A short beat you can repeat ? hard, but makes you feel good about yourself at the start of a long practice. More than enough to be played as a 4/4 bar at 60 ? 70 bpm.

(Actually you need the left foot for the high hat ? so no double bass!) Okay here?s a pretty challenging double bass drum beat/fill/heavy metal groove ? bash it out of the drums. I havent dared to play this one with my band. Consider yourself GOOD if you can go over 70 bpm with this like I wrote it. (I think it sounds best at 60) C1|------X-------------------X----X| C2|--------X---------------X-------| CR|----------------XxxxxxxX--------| HH|---------------------------xOx--| SD|o----o--o------oo-o-o-oo--o---oo| T1|oo?oorrro---oo---o---------o----| T2|-oooo----o-o-oo----o-----o---o--| T3|--oo------o---oo-----o------o---| B1|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-| B2|-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o--| If you want something a bit more modest, here are some beats (120 bpm): These ones are good for metal/rock/whatever |________3x_______| C1|x---X-----------|X HH|--X---X-X-X-X-X-|X SD|----o-------o--o|- B1|o-o-o-o--oo-o-o-|o C1|X---------------| Hf|x---x---x---x---| SD|----o--o--o--orr| T1|------o-----o---| T2|------ooo---o---| T3|--------o-------| B1|o-o-o-o-ooo-o-o-| and some even easier ones: |________3x_______| HH|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| SD|----o-o-------oo| B1|o----oo-o--oo-o-| |________3x_______| C1|X---------------| HH|--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| SD|----o--o-o--o---| <------ This ones one of my favs B1|o--o----o-oo-o-o|
