This Is The Tom Drum Grooves Lesson
Welcome to the tom tom drum grooves. Here we will learn how to play some very powerful drum beats.
Drummers often think of the toms as nice ornamentation when playing drum fills. We move around them as fast as we can and then get back to the drum beat.
But the toms are the most melodic part of the drum kit. Some drummers even tune them to specific notes. And we can utilise that melodic aspect to create some amazing drum beats.
Just think of Gene Krupa’s drumming in Sing, Sing, Sing.
When we create a drum groove that uses the toms it instantly sounds very powerful and has a tribal feel which is hard to resist.
So in this drum lesson we will break down several tom tom drum grooves that you can instantly use in songs. You will get the full video lesson breakdown as well as notation to print out and use in the drum practice room.
