Hey all
Just thought I would introduce myself as I just signed up
My names Phil, I'm in Perth Australia,
I've been playing drums for a long time but only got back into full on in the passed year since I got divorced.
This site looks awesome, heaps of resources and I look forward to contributing.
Cheers

Before i ask questions let me start by saying by far this is the best tutorial site i have seen especially it teaches modern song for a bonus. Thank you for creating this!
1) im kind of confused with the Californication chart, I tried to put it together from the video and here is how i understood it and im pretty sure i didn't get it right
-so for the whole song you just play the verse beat which was the four bars over and over till you hit the fill?
-then there is a fill going into the first chorus four bars

Hi all,
Probably a really dumb question but here we go...
Learn To Play Drums (Part 10) - Quick, Easy, Simple! (Beginner Basic Rock Beat)
This is part 10 of a series of beginner videos in which I demonstrate for you the first ever drum beat every drummer learns when they first start out as a beginner.
This video takes drum beats 1a and 2a and combines them into one two bar pattern. By practising this pattern you can learn how to switch between different bass drum patterns while still maintaining the same Hi-Hat pattern.
