Linear Drum Beats

As usual, I couldn't write a blog entry and not give you something to get your teeth into.

I thought I'd offer you a couple of cool linear drum beats created for a video lesson I did recently.

They're both three note patterns and are made up from the sticking - Right Left Bass (RLF).

Both grooves involve a healthy dose of ghost notes and accents and are a lot of fun to play...they sound pretty awesome too!

Enjoy and see you next time!
