Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Jim McCall. I'm going to show you this really fantastic sounding 16th note rock and roll beat. First I'm going to play it for you. Now we're going to break it down note by note and show you how it works. One E, and F In order to play these great sound and 16th note, rock and roll beats, you gotta 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 and a two e and a three and a four. Left hand is gonna 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, and a two In this beat the bass drum is going to go on one and three. Ah.

Once again notes one, three. It's going to go like this. I'm going to slow it down. What E and two and three Once you get that all together, we're going to pick up the speed a little bit. One e and a two e and a three E and a four E. So you got a pretty cool sound a beat going on. A great way to practice would be to play two measures.

On closed hi hat, two measures on the ride cymbal, two measures on the closed hi hat. Two measures on the ride cymbal sound like yes, three and a four. 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.com
