Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Joe McCall. I'm going to show you this really cool sound and 12 eight feet. First I'm going to play it for you. I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how to work When playing in the 12, eight time signature, you gotta be counting the eighth note, there's gonna be 12 eighth notes in a measure. Now I'm going to play the ride pattern on all the eighth notes.

So I'm going to be counting 12 eighth notes in a measure, it's going to go like this 1-234-567-8910 1112 1-234-567-8910 11 1-234-567-8910 11 Well, that counting up to 12 can be a real mouthful, especially when you get into the numbers that have more than one syllable. So a shortcut would be to count 123123123123 of course, knowing that It's gonna take for groupings of three to equal 12. We just don't teach you drums we teach a math too. So, it would be like this a 1-231-231-2312 3131231231. I'm going to put the foot the bass drum on every one that I say, I'm going to coordinate it together 1-231-231-2312 3123 1-231-231-2312 31231 the snare drum is gonna go on beats four and beats 10. Or, the second time I say one in the fourth time I say one in the groupings of three.

I'm going to play just the two hands would go like this one. 234 or 5678 910 1112 1-234-567-8912 356-789-1011 12 Now I'm going to add the bass drum, which would go on every one that I say, Go like this 123123 1-231-231-2312 331-312-3123 now once you get comfortable with that tempo, we're going to pick up the speed a little bit. It's smart practice to try the ride pattern on the hi hat and the ride cymbal. So I'm going to switch back and forth. Two measures each ride pattern on the hi hat. Two measures ride pattern on the ride cymbal two measures.

Gonna go like this. Oh 123123123 Another excellent sounding rhythmic pattern you can add to your drumming library at ultimate drumming calm. I'm Jim McCall. Thanks for watching and I'll see you soon at ultimate drumming.
