Funky Monster Drum Beat Lesson

Learn the funky monster beat

“What is the funky monster drum beat?” I hear you ask. Are you serious, you mean you’ve never heard of the funky monster drum beat? Well I’m not surprised because I only made it up last week. But you will know it soon.

Basically this is a fairly complex funk groove that really pushes you on several aspects of your drum development. For a start it’s quite tough from an independence perspective. This is a real four limb independence challenge with the hands and right foot working hard whilst the left foot pedals constant eighth notes on the hi-hat.

Secondly this really tests your dynamics because it requires good command of ghosted notes as well as a strong snare backbeat. And actually the backbeats are both followed on the next consecutive sixteenth note by a ghost note so if you are familiar with Moeller techniques then this is a down stroke followed by a tap. If you’re note familiar then head over to the mini courses for a Moeller introduction.

And as well as that it will test your timing and coordination to get this smooth and even.

So it’s a great drum practice workout as an exercise. But it’s not just an exercise. It actually teaches you a really funky groove that you can through in to many musical situations to sound like a boss. And with this drum lesson you don’t just get the full video breakdown of the drum beat, teaching each part individually and then how to bring it all together. And you don’t just get the sheet music to accompany it. Oh no, there’s more. You also get a practice loop that fits this beat exactly so you can practice your flow and creativity in a musical context.

But wait there’s even more!

The main backing track is at 108bpm which is pretty fast. And when learning any new material we should always go very slowly to make sure the technique and timing is perfect at all stages. So with that in mind there is also a backing track at 80bpm. This is still too fast to learn the beat with but once you start to get all the limbs working together, this drumless practice track is great to start jamming with until you’re ready for the full speed.

So let’s have a listen to what this Funky Monster drum beat sounds like.
