Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall. I'm going to show you this really excellent sounding 16th note rock and roll beat. First I'm going to play it for you. I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works. one and a two and a three, four.

In order to play these great sound and 16th note, rock and roll beats, you got to be thinking 16th notes. 16th notes are counted one E and two E and three E and a four E and I'm playing the ride pattern with 16th notes. So everything that I say I'm going to be playing a note with the right hand either on the hi hat, or the ride cymbal, like so. One e and a two e and a three E and a four. A left hand is going to go on beats two and four. I'm still counting 16th notes.

So every time I get to two and four, I'm going to add the left hand. It's going to go like this. One e and a two and a three and a 40 handle In this beat, the bass drum is going on beats one of one, he have two beats three out of three, and he have four. Once again, one of one, he have two, three of three and e a four. I'm gonna slow it way down, it's gonna go like this. What E and two E and three E and four E, and one.

Now once you get comfortable with that tempo, we're gonna pick it up a little bit. What a great way to practice this excellent sounding 16th note rock and roll beat would be to play two measures on the closed hi hat two measures on the ride cymbal, two measures on the closed hi hat two measures on the ride cymbal. Go like this one. There you have it another excellent sounding rhythmic pattern you can add to your drumming repertoire. Joe McCall. Thanks for watching.

I'll see you soon at ultimate drumming calm
