How to Play Rock and Roll on Drums
Discover the hidden secret to 1950s rock and roll drumming
Welcome to this drum lesson that breaks down how to play Rock and Roll on drums.
We are talking about 1950s rock and roll drumming. This was an amazing transitional phase of musical history where we moved from the swing music before it to the rock music that came after.
And part of that evolution was the straight eighth note rock beat that we live and breathe in modern music.
Yes you heard that right….before the rock and roll period we didn’t have the straight 8ths rock beat!
And in this transitional phase we had a really interesting point in time where some of the band still played swung and some played straight. The result is really unique and very cool.
