Drum Notation



8th and 16th Note Grooves - Hand to Hand (3)

This is the final 8th and 16th Note Groove to cover. In this one, we are going to play the hi hat pattern (1-E a, 2-E a, 3-E a, 4-E a etc ... ) again using both hands. For right-handers the sticking is going to be R-L L, R-L L - left-handed guys are going to be sticking L-R-L, L-R-L etc...

REMEMBER : The sticking above will mean that the 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the 'ands' will again be on your lead hand with your following hand playing the 'E' and the 'a' of each beat. This will still mean that the back-beat on '2' and '4' will be on your lead hand.

NOTE : With this groove, the bass drum beats falling on the 'ands' will not coincide with a hi hat beat.
