Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall. I'm going to show you this really great sound and alternating 16th note Rocky. First I'm going to play for you. I'm gonna break it down note by note and show you how it works. When playing these alternating 16th note, rock beats, you gotta be thinking 16th notes 16th are counted one E and two E and three E and a four E. And when I'm playing these beats, I'm playing alternating 16th notes.

On the closed hi hat. I'm going to start with the right hand, it's going to go like this. What and two and three and a four and a one e and a two and, and a four, and a one e and a two e and a three, and a four. Now I'm going to take the right hand and move to the snare drum every time I get two beats two and four, while still making Maintaining the 16th notes on the hi hat. It's gonna go like this one, and a two, and a three and a four. In this beat, I'm putting the bass drum on beats one and, and beats three.

And now I have to coordinate everything together with the alternating 16th notes on the hi hat. While I'm still playing two and four on the snare drum with the right hand. It's gonna go like this. I'm gonna do it real nice and slow. One e and two, E and three E and four, E and E. Now you want to get nice and comfortable at that tempo then we're gonna pick up the speed a little bit. It's gonna go like this.

Now an excellent way to practice this cool sound and pattern would be to play two measures 16th note beat, fall by two measures Phil to measure 16th note beat two measures Phil. Something like this. There is another excellent sounding rhythmic pattern that you can add to your drumming repertoire. I'm Joe McCall and Thanks for using ultimate drumming.com
