Welcome to ultimate drumming calm. I'm Jim McCall. I'm going to show you this really cool 12 eight beat verse I'm going to play for you. And I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works 12312312 when finding the 12 eight times signature, you got to be counting the eighth note, there's going to 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 13456789.

So 1-234-567-8910 1112 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 going to take four groupings of three to equal 12 123123123123 what When I'm playing this 12 eight pattern, the bass drum is going to go on beats 123 and beat 789. I'm going to coordinate it together with the right pattern 1-234-567-8910 1112 1234 568-910-1112 1-234-567-8910 1112 now if I'm counting in groups of three, the bass drum is going to go on 123 of the first group and 123 of the third group. It's going to go like this 1-231-212-3123 1-231-231-2311 231231231 To the snare drum is going on beats four in 10 or the one of the second grouping of three and the one of the fourth grouping of three.

I'm going to coordinate it all together 1-234-789-1011 12. Now once you get comfortable with that tempo, we're going to pick up the speed a little bit, and it's always smart practice to try playing the ride pattern on the high after a couple of measures. Ride pattern on the symbol for a couple of measures going to go something like this 1-231-231-2312 There you have it another excellent sounding 12 eight pattern you can add to your drumming library at ultimate drumming calm.
