Please listen first.

You will be able to play like this.

I will continue to aim here.

 

Practice 1 to Practice 7

There is up to

One “Practice” per day is fine,

If you think "it was done"

Steadily

You can go ahead.

 

But the next day, from the chapter that was finished the day before

Even more effective once you start.

​Target

Practice 1

Right hand-Hi Hat

Hit the hi-hat with your right hand.

First, because the hi-hat is closed

Left foot with toes on the floor

-Hold the hi-hat pedal and hold.

 

Strike an eighth note with 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 eight times per bar.

At this time, strengthen the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th beats

Strike the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats lightly

Add an accent.

 

Rhythm with a quarter note as the basic unit

It is called 8 beats.

 

Not all 8 beats accentuate odd beats strongly and even beats weakly.

The opposite is also true,

Sometimes they are intentionally combined.

First, divide the quarter note into two

When it becomes an eighth note

Make the first stronger and the next weaker.

By adding an accent,

Wear your right fingering.

The feeling of playing with the bass and piano

Feel the overlapping sounds.

 

I'm hitting on the bass and piano

Right hand (high hat)

To feel like they're overlapping

So that it feels like one with the performance

 

Focus on timing,

Try adjusting it.

 

So that your shoulders and arms have no strength

"Weakness"

Please keep in mind.

 

To play the drums

You don't have to put pressure on your shoulders

You hit it with your arm muscles from your elbow.

Practice 1

​Practice 2

Right hand-Hi Hat, right foot-Bass Drum
Left hand-Snare Drum

When your right hand feels good,

Add your left hand (snare) and right foot (bass drum)

 

The left hand (snare) is the same timing as the third and seventh beats of the right hand.

The right foot (bass drum) is the first beat of each measure

It is the 5th and 6th beats of the 2nd measure and the 8th beat of the 4th measure.

 

The timing of all right feet overlaps with that of the right hand.

Let's match it to the right hand.

The feeling of playing with the bass and piano

Feel the overlapping sounds.

 

I'm hitting on the bass and piano

Right hand (high hat)

So that they overlap

So that it feels like one with the performance

Focus on timing,

Try adjusting it.

 

So that your shoulders and arms have no strength

"Weakness"

Please keep in mind.

 

To play the drums

You don't have to put pressure on your shoulders

Stick your elbows, wrists and fingers

Control

The dynamic stick control

I control the stick with my fingers

It is called fingering.

◆ How to step on the right foot (bass drum)

Watch the Video The instructor is Mr. Peter Erskine who is active in "Weather Report".

"Heel Down" to attach the heel to the pedal and

"Heel Up" to raise the heel.

It is better to put it on the pedal to stabilize your foot, and weak beats are difficult unless it is here.

On the other hand, for strong beats, it is better to raise the heel, and

it is easier to control when raising the heel even when stepping

on quickly .

When you don't step on, put your heel on the pedal

It is better to step on both in combination. 

I am talking about that.

 

Let's start with "Heel Down",

where the heel is attached to the pedal.

It is okay to work on "Heel Up" after strengthening your legs.

Practice2

​Practice 3

Right Hand-Hi Hat, Snare Drum, Right Foot-Bass Drum
Left hand-Snare Drum

The points of Practice3

Make sure that the accent does not shake even if it changes from front (odd beats) to back (even beats).

Look at bar 2.

Right foot from 1 / 4th to 8th / 2-4th beat

Moving

 

Since the right foot is stepped on the weak beat of the right hand, the right hand may inevitably become stronger.

It doesn't matter at first.

When I was stepping on a face like this and turned into a back

Be strongly aware that the first beat is a rest (rest) in the second measure.

"I also play rests"

I think that I have been conscious of only the place where I hit.

Do not step → step → do not step → step

"Play a rest"

~ Playing without hitting ~

8 to 16 minutes, 16 to 8 minutes, etc.

Even if the tapping speed doubles or halves

I won't shake

Please look at measures 8 and 16.

When I entered 7-8, 15-16,

The rhythm "runs" in this, which becomes faster

But

What can I do to prevent that?

● Strike the 1 / 16th beat strongly and weakly beat the 2, 3 and 4 beats

Feel the speed of quarter notes and strike.

One quarter note contains four 16th notes.

In order to feel the quarter note, I want to strengthen only the first beat of the four.

To control the strength

Adjust the height of swinging the stick.

■ Flow of practice

① Hit the hi-hat with your right hand. Be aware of strength.

② Add your left hand (snare drum) and use your right and left hands.

③ Once the left hand is omitted, check the relationship with the right hand and right foot (bass drum) only.

 

④ Strike the whole.

Practice3

​Practice 4

Right hand ~ Crash Cymbals . , Hi Hat, Snare Drum,
Right foot ~ Bass Drum,Left hand-Snare Drum

It is a performance using a crash cymbal.

Same as Practice 3, but

Only the red circle, not the hi-hat,

Hit the crash cymbal with your right hand.

Crash cymbals are often used at the beginning of a break like this.

Sit down to the drum in the drum set

To the left front

There is a crash cymbal.

 

At the same timing that I hit the hi-hat

Just hit the crash cymbal.

 

The cymbal on the right side of the top cymbal is

It ’s a side cymbal,

It is used to increase the tone color.

The content of the performance is the same as Practice 3, so please listen at 105 bpm as a reference sound source.

Practice 4-105bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00
Practice4

​Practice 5

Right hand-Cymbals, Hi Hat, Snare Drum, Tom
Left hand-Snare Drum, Tom
Right foot-Bass Drum,

The hand movements are the same. A version in which the snare drum is partially changed to tom.

If you have practice 3, you can do it without problems.

Try play it with a drum set.

In a hurry when moving from snare drum to tom

Be careful not to get too early.

Like measure 8

Before moving on to the next measure, strike a phrase with a snare drum or tom to accelerate the progress

It is called " Fill in ".

Standard 40  American Drum Rudiments

-Stick control training-

Called rudiment

The basic technique for hitting a snare drum-phrase-is defined in the field of marching drums.

An organization called “The Percussive Arts Society”

40 Rudiments and drums

We are working to enhance percussion technology.

To increase stick control

It is a very effective practice tool.

"Video Lessons" to

"40 Rudiments Video Lessons"

there is.
Please take a look.

​Practice 6

Right hand-Cymbals, Hi Hat, Snare Drum, Tom
Left hand-Snare Drum, Tom
Right foot-Bass Drum,

Practice6 has no drum sound,

Instead, it acts as a metronome,

There is a quarter-note sound called a click.

 

Let's play it along the score.

You're a good drummer who hasn't crumbled, won't get caught, and play!

Practice 6-105bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00

​Practice 7 

At the end, there is no drum sound and no clicks. But of course, there are no clicks in the actual performance. Listen to the sounds of the people you play with

To play.

Focus on the bass and listen to the piano together.

The melody only needs to be confirmed as it progresses, and only comes into the ears casually.

Practice 7

The most important training in performance is to "listen to the surrounding sounds and perform."

It is the word of many great players that playing is listening.

 

Most of the sounds I make are less than 20%

80% and 90% are good performances and players that they are listening to the sound of the other party.

 

At first it's confusing, and when you do Practice 7,

It's more difficult than playing with people because I'm not actually playing with people.

 

But that's why it's training.

 

Please challenge and enjoy again and again.
