Beginner - The First Steps(Drums tabs)

	        

Here are some variations for the basedrum for beginners. I learned much of it. Repeat untill you can do it without reading it and you can change the beat without stopping.

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

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

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

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

Here are some variations for the snare for beginners. This is just an addition of the previous excercises. Also repeat it untill you can do it without reading it and you can change the beat without stopping. 

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

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

You can combine the snare and the base excersises, for example:

H|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-|    H|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-|   You can figure 
S|----o-o-----o---| or S|----o-------o-o-|   out for yourself.
B|o-o-----o-------|    B|o-o-----o-o-----|
  1 e 2 e 3 e 4 e        1 e 2 e 3 e 4 e 

You can also do it in 16th

  rlrlrlrlrlrlrlrl
H|xxxx-xxxxxxx-xxx|
S|----o-------o---| 
B|o-------o-------|
  1+e+2+e+3+e+4+e+
You start with both hands on the hi-hat, and everytime you must play a snare, your right hand goes to the snare (your left hand stays on the hi-hat). After that, your right hand goes back to the hi-hat.
(tip -look above at the figure-: you can time it by:
 - the first right hand on the hi-hat goes together with the 
   basedrum,
 - then a left, 
 - your second right hand is alone, 
 - then again a left, 
 - the third right is the snare, 
 - then another left, 
 - then the 4th right is again alone, 
 - and then the last left. 
Repeat this and you have the beat above).

You can combine 16th in hundreds of ways, for example:

  rlrlrlrlrlrlrlrl       rlrlrlrlrlrlrlrl
H|xxxx-xxxxxxx-xxx|    H|xxxx-xxxxxxx-xxx|  You can figure
S|----o-------o---| or S|----o-------o---|  it out.
B|o-------o-o-----|    B|o-o---o---o-----|
  1+e+2+e+3+e+4+e+       1+e+2+e+3+e+4+e+

If you think you can do this right, then look above and do the snare en base excercises in 16th.

It is a lot of fun when you control 16th very good. Then you can do stuff like this:

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

       or

H|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| (g is a 'ghost'note, you play it 
S|-g--o--g-g--o--g|  very softly)
B|o-----o---o-----| (tip: try it first without playing it 
  1+e 2 e+3+e 4 e    soft, if you can do it, then play soft)

If you can do the last excersice you can play a lot! Then you can combine almost everything. Only the base in 16th not. 
I didn't add 16th for the base cause I can't play them very good for myself. So I can't really explain you how to do it.
