Eighth Note 2 3 Ride Bell Accents In 5/8 Grooves

In this groove construction lesson you are going build parts around a specific right hand rhythm. This will be a run of straight eighth notes that has the first and third notes accented with a ride bell. This will fit in line with the snars of the simple time version of the groove and some interesting sounding parts can be created when you use this accent pattern in a compound time feel. The intention of this lesson is to start adding some more musical elements into your 5/8 patterns.

Listed below are several examples of grooves that use this right hand part. At the bottom of the page I have provided a list of links to other lessons that may be useful when learning these parts.
