Description

Fast Groove Builder for Drummers

The Fast Groove Builder is the first in a series of five drum eBooks. As the title implies, the books have
been designed to present essential drum and groove-building concepts in an efficient and systematic way.

First, we will begin by looking at all the musical symbols that we will use in the Fast Groove Builder.

Second, we will look at some simple note-reading exercises to get familiar with rhythm and tempo.

Thirdly, we will learn the starter rudiments: single strokes, double strokes, and single paradiddle. Following this, we will begin work on the “Grooves” section. Simple quarter and eighth note grooves to start, with more complex patterns to follow. Next up we will look at some Fill-ins using the starter rudiments we learned in chapter two. Also in this section, we will try out some combination fill-ins with the kick and snare.

In the final chapter of the eBook, we will put all the rhythmic building concepts together and explore some melodic ideas using the different sounds of the drum kit
