Another fave drum practice idea that really helps my playing grooves. Grooving Bass Drum Ostinatos (well at least trying) Ostinato=repetitive phrase Attempting to groove a 1/8 note hihat pattern and 2 + 4 on the snare to try to create a solid backbeat. The bass drum pattern changes every 4 bars – but the groove is more important. Make it more useful for your legs by playing on the ride and using 1/4 notes (or off beats) with foot hihat . Bassdrum Ostinatos 1/4 notes – Four on the Floor 1 + 3 – Backbeat 1 – Funk 2 + 4 – Ska 3 – One drop reggae 8th notes – Banging 8th note &s – the ‘off beats’ of 8ths 1 + 2& + 4 – Mambo or Baiao 1 + 2& – The Charleston 2& + 4 – Songo 2& – Bomba 4 x 16ths on 1 + 3 – 1/2a Blue Monday 1 + 1da + 2 + 2da + 3 + 3da + 4 + 4da – Samba 1 + 1e + 3 + 3e – 1/2 Afrobeat 1 + 2& + 3e – Funky groove Download the PDF here: www.humyo.com Or here: www.mediafire.com This example at 120 bpm which appears to be my current 16ths limit – I leave it out when trying higher speeds. Various edits as I funked it up a few times… I’d just written the exercise out in the garden and was trying to groove and read… That was enjoyable and I’ll be doing that again. Have a go!
