Beginner - Learning How To Play Drums Piii(Drums tabs)

	        








Now that you know the basics to drumming, you can create beats now. If you tried out
some of the bass warm-ups i put on the last lesson, this should  not be difficult.
NOTE:this lesson has a lot of tabs to learn, so i suggest you do each part seperatly

Part III
Bass Workouts

Here, you may notice that The snare drum is alwasy hit on 2 and 4 count and hi hat
never changes its pace. The bass is just hit at different times. Like I said 
before, this is a bass workout so the count numbers will go under the bass hits. 

H|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---    the funk bass
B|x-----x-x-------|x-----x-x-------
  1     + 3        1     + 3

the bass is hit all four times here, so its called four on the floor

H|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---    four on the floor
B|x---x---x---x---|x---x---x---x---
  1   2   3   4    1   2   3   4

Here just is a bass beat

H|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---     bass beat
B|x---------x-----|x---------x-----
  1      (3)+      1      (3)+

The rest of these are syncopated beats, which i think are pretty cool easy beats.

H|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---     syncopated
B|x-----x---------|x-----x---------
  1     +(3)       1     +(3)

H|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---     ''
B|x-----x---x-----|x-----x---x-----
  1     +(3)+      1     +(3)+

H|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---     ''
B|x-x-------x-----|x-x-------x-----
  1 +    (3)+      1 +    (3)+

Thats the bass workout. I suggest you just learn that and move on to Part 3.5 later. If your doing each part by day, (which is a good idea so during your sessions, you can practice some of the last lesson first and then do these lesons next) then like
i said before, you should learn the part you just learned first and this next part
tomorrow.

PART III.5
funky beats

These beats are played with the bass drum more than the hi-hat. The beat slows down
here to 4th notes so maybe practice this again

H|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---
B|x-------x-------|x-------x-------
  1   2   3   4    1   2   3   4   

I am still going to put the number counts under the bass since all the beat is still
the same exept the bass in every tab.

H|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---
B|x-------x-x-----|x-------x-x-----
  1   2   3 + 4    1   2   3 + 4

The most common mistake in these is that people want to hit the hi-hat again
on that extra bass kick (on 3+ here) You must learn how to not do this before
moving on. This second one is the same but the bass is reversed.

H|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---
B|x-----x-x-------|x-----x-x-------
  1     + 3        1     + 3

This next one isnt played on the 3 count like the others, but around it (on
+    +)

H|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---
B|x-----x---x-----|x-----x---x-----
  1     +(3)+      1     +(3)+

This next one will have more bass in it than the last

H|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---
B|x-x---x-x-------|x-x---x-x-------
  1 +   + 3        1 +   + 3

The last one here has the most bass kicks in it.

H|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---
S|----x-------x---|----x-------x---
B|x-----x-x-x---x-|x-----x-x-x---x-
  1     + 3 +   +  1     + 3 +   +

Remember to not hit the hi-hat an extra time on those extra bass kicks. these sound
cool when you get the hang of em and play them all together, not combined. Now you can understand how an extra bass kick can be added to a basic beat and make it sound so much better. The next lesson should be the last in the beginner section. Its learning to play drums PIV. Rate this according to how much it helped.
