Playing The Ride Cymbal | Start Learning Drums Pt.6
Channel: Drum Lessons with Joe The Drummer
Date: 19/09/2021

It's part 6 in my series of videos for absolute beginner drummers. In this offering we learn to play the ride cymbal and add a hihat foot stroke on 2 + 4 to thicken the snare and get a bit of exercsice in the non-dominant foot and/ or leg. Add a crash and fill to all this good stuff and you'll be ready to alternate between hihat and ride. 

00:00 Intro
00:49 Best grip for the ride
02:15 Playing a beat on the ride
03:53 Add the hihat foot stroke
05:18 Try some other beats
06:28 Counting four bar phrases with crash
07:32 Add a fill 
09:04 Alternate hihat and ride
11:30 Outro
