In this groove construction lesson you will be taking the Fake Double Kick movement learned previously and applying it to the time signature of 3/4. Previous lessons have focused on the co-ordination elements of the part so it is fairly essential to cover these first and you can find links at the bottom of this page. In this lesson I will just be presenting a collection of grooves using the concept, a note on how the groove has been built is included with each pattern. Remember, the part is played open handed.
Example 1
This groove uses eighth note hi hats and the snare is played with the right hand. The snares are applied in a waltz style movement.
Example 2
This groove uses eighth note hi hats and the snare is played with the left hand.
Example 3
This groove uses quarter note hi hats and the snare is played with the right hand.
Example 4
This groove uses quarter note hi hats and the snare is played with the left hand.
TASK
- Learn all exercises up to a tempo of at least 130bpm.
- Experiment with orchestration.
- Apply this pattern to a phrased example as either the groove or fill.
