In this drum lesson, we learn to add various bass drum and hi-hat foot patterns underneath basic 8th notes and 16th notes with our hands. Some of these can be tricky to coordinate at first, so take your time! Also included are several examples of practical fills you can use to integrate these ideas into your playing. All exercises are taken from my β€˜50 Drum Lessons For Beginners’ book.
