This is a beat I thought up that would work well as an intro for a song. It’s played in 12/8 time. S --o|o-oo-oo-oo-o|o-oo-ooooo-o| F --o|o-oo-oo-oo-o|o-oo-ooooo-o| B ---|o--o--o--o--|o--o--o--o--| 4tl 1tl2tl3tl4tl 1tl2tl3tl4tl Try throwing in some random notes on other drums to make it sound cooler and more impressive. Here’s another beat I made up that involves triplets. H |x--x--x--x--|x--x--x--x---| S |---o-o---o--|---o-o---o-oo|To make it sound cool don’t B |o-o---o-o---|--o---o-o----|always play those last 2 notes 1tl2tl3tl4tl 1tl2tl3tl4tl on the snare. Try using the toms or cymbals or even the bass drum if you can. Also, here's a little tip that'll help you play faster. Have to pairs of sticks. One kinda long heavy pair, and a shorter lighter pair. Warm up or start off with the heavier sticks then when you switch to the light ones you'll be able to play a lot faster. Hope that helps ya a little.
