Polyrhythmic Grooves - Lesson 146

In this drum lesson we are playing five two bar phrases keeping the same snare drum and bass drum pattern. Changing either the ride cymbal or the hi hats in the second bar to create a polyrhythm.

In exercise five we are phrasing single strokes between hands and feet around the drum kit with a quarter note hi hat ostinato and in bar two playing the hi hat every three sixteenth notes.
