Please listen first.

You will be able to play like this.

I will continue to aim here.

 

Practice 1 to Practice 5

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

Play 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.

If you have a stick

By adding an accent,

Wear your right fingering.

Practice 1-98bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00
Practice 1-108bpm - JDC

Practice 1-126bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00
Practice 1-140bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00

The sound of the hi-hat

You can hear from the left side.
To match the sound without holding the stick

With the cymbal sound that can be heard to the right with your right hand

Play the thigh of the right foot together.

">" Means hit hard.

Strong → Weak → Strong → Weak .....
It means to hit alternately with,

The same may be the case at first.

Until you have a stick

 

"When You play your thigh with your hand,

You feel it on your thigh and your fingertips.

The sensation is exactly what you hear

Concentrate to overlap "

 

Please be aware of that.

Practice1

​Practice 2

Right hand-Hi Hat, Left hand-Snare Drum

When your right hand feels good,

Add your left hand (snare).

This snare phrase is the basic phrase for Latin music.

It is called "Clave rythm".

All left hands have the same timing as the right hand.

Let's match it to the right hand.

The left hand is "cross-stick"

Hit the rim of the snare drum.

 

Video Lesson

"Cross-stick"

◆ How to hit the left hand (snare) Cross stick

In Japan, "Cross-stick" has been called a "rim shot".

Let's recognize it as "Cross-stick" according to international standards.

"Rim shot" is to hit the rim and the head at the same time

It is described as a shot that enhances the accent.

 

Video used "Cross-stick"

You also touched on Latin beats such as reggae, cha-cha, rumba.

In "Cross-stick", the left hand is also close to Matched Grip

You will hold it. That is the combination with Tom

You can also see that it will be smooth.

 

Practice2

​Practice 3

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

The points of Practice3

Right hand, right foot, left hand combination.

Let's add a bass drum (right foot).

This is easy to understand if you actually use the pedals,

Please check Video Lesson for how to step on the bass drum.

 

Since both the left hand and the right foot overlap the right hand,

Let's play with a sense of unity with the right hand.

First "right hand and left hand"

Next, "Right hand and right foot

Finally, "Right hand, left hand and right foot"

After doing enough with a slow tempo in 3 steps, let's increase the tempo without rushing.

Practice3

​Practice 4

Right hand- Hi Hat open & close, Right foot-Bass Drum,
Left hand-Snare Drum, Tom

The movement is almost the same, try moving your left hand to the tom, not just the snare.

The movement of the left hand does not change, but in addition to the snare

A tom goes in.

The third beat of measures 2, 4, 6, and 8

It ’s called an “open hi-hat,”

Stepping on the hi-hat pedal

By raising the left toe

The two closed cymbals can be emptied and have a long lingering sound.

Practice 4-98bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00
Practice 4-108bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00
Practice 4-126bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00
Practice 4-140bpm - JDC
00:00 / 00:00

Even if the procedure is the same, you can create a wider range of expressions by changing the instrument.

And to clarify the composition of the song

You can.

Practice4

​Practice 5

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

At the end, there is no drum sound, piano bass,

It is a performance of Latin percussion cabasa.

Let's try various phrases.

Feel free to hit as you can think.

 

However, there must always be a sense of unity between the bass and the piano.

 

Bass and piano become drums for realistic performance

Sometimes they will be close together,

Since it is a recording here,

You have no choice but to snuggle up to you.

 

In this Practice5

Listen to the surrounding sounds and play

That is the training of the most important thing in performance.
