T.his next free drum lesson is a great place for learning your first drum fills, or to add new patterns to your ever growing collection of drum fills. In the video, Jared Falk shows you five basic quarter note drum fills, and goes about teaching you how to better practice them so you can achieve your drumming goals a lot faster.

These fills may look easy on paper, but just like with any other pattern you learn on the drums, it’s better to start out slowly so everything lines up perfectly. Don’t underestimate the power of mastering things at slower speeds. The more controlled you get at slower tempos, the easier it will be to play at faster tempos. Take advantage of the quarter note click track lining up with every stroke played on each fill. Work on drowning the sound of the metronome with each stroke. If all of a sudden you stop hearing the click track in the background, don’t worry, this means you’re playing a given pattern with perfect timing.

Drum Fills

The first quarter note drum fill in this free drum lesson is played exclusively on the snare drum. Work on this pattern without a metronome at first. This is just to get you learning the sequence of strokes properly before trying to line things up with a metronome. Don’t get demotivated with the simplicity of this exercise, as you move along this free drum lesson the exercises get more interesting and challenging.

Things get a little more interesting with exercise 2. Instead of keeping the strokes on the snare drum, we’ll be moving them around the toms. Moving the arms around the drum set adds to the level of challenge of any exercise. You may find yourself hitting the rims of the toms and even hitting far away from the drums’ center, which creates an inconsistent sound. This fill can be a cool exercise for practicing your accuracy as well. Focus on hitting the center of each drum with the same strength and stick height. This will make sure you’re playing consistently, enhancing the sound from each drum to its fullest potential. Being an accurate player is an essential asset for being a studio drummer.

Fill number 3 is a variation on the previous exercise. With this pattern, three of the four strokes are played on the same drums and on the same counts as on the previous one. The mid-tom stroke is replaced with a snare drum hit on count 3. After this last snare shot you have to make sure you take the leading hand out of the way of the weaker hand, as it travels to hit the floor tom. You’ll end up blocking you stronger hand beneath the weaker hand, preventing you from hitting count 1 on the crash or on the hi-hat, if you don’t do so.

Exercise 4 is another variation on the pattern taught on exercise 2. This next fill is basically exercise 2 shifted by one count. This means that instead of playing the snare drum on count 1 you’ll be playing it on count 2. The floor tom stroke on count 4 is shifted by one count also. Since 4 is the last count, the floor tom stroke is shifted to count 1. The high-tom is played on count 3 and the mid-tom on count 4.

The last quarter note drum fill on this free drum lesson is based around snare and floor tom strokes. Counts 1 and 2 are played on the snare drum, while counts 3 and 4 are on the floor tom. Remember to start slowly and to focus on getting the sequence down, before adding in the metronome for lining things up. Strive for having a very clean fill, and only increase the tempo on the metronome when you feel you have really mastered the pattern.

Each fill in this free drum lesson is illustrated with a quarter note rock beat preceding it. This will make you work on beat-fill-beat transitions, an essential skill for any drummer. After you get comfortable playing the transitions with the provided beat you can take any beat in this website, or any other you’d like, and use it instead.

After you’re done with this free drum lesson take a look at the free drum lesson “Eighth Note Drum Fills” for further developing your fill library.

How To Play Drums beginner 3

STARKARAENG. Thinking about learning how to play drums? Do you have a drum set but don’t know what to do with it besides using it to drive your parents nuts? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, then this is the right place for you to be. In this video lesson Jared Falk, one of the “DrumLessons.com” drum instructors, shows you how to hold the sticks properly and how to set yourself behind a drum set, while teaching you to play your first beat and fill.

The main focus of this lesson is to get you playing for the first time. You won’t need to know how to read sheet music to be able to learn to play the patterns taught in this lesson. Jared explains each of the patterns in a step-by-step approach, so you’ll learn how to play drums in no time.

Basic Drum Patterns

The first pattern we’ll be looking at is the standard 8th note rock drum beat. The first layer of this pattern is taught on the exercise below. The numbers and “&’s” are counts, while the “x’s” are notes played on the closed hi-hat. For each measure you’ll have to play eight 8th notes on the closed hi-hat. Start by counting out loud – 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and – and then play the hi-hats along with your count. Strive for having notes played at a consistent pace and with the same dynamic level, as you loop this exercise over and over again.

In exercise 2 we add the snare drum on beats 2 and 4 of the count. The snare shots are represented by the solid note heads on the middle line of the measure. Play the hi-hat strokes as you count out loud and just add in the snare drum. The strokes on both instruments must line up perfectly when played at the same time. Remember to keep the hi-hat strokes consistent to create a smooth feel.

With the third exercise we add in the bass drum on beats 1 and 3 of the count. For now, we’ll not be worrying about the snare drum. The solid note heads on this exercise are the bass drum strokes. Just like we did in the previous exercise, add the bass drum hits as you play the hi-hat while counting out loud. The strokes on both instruments must line up perfectly when played at the same time. Keep the hi-hat strokes consistent to create a smooth feel.

The idea behind the previous exercises was to have you gain the needed independence and control to play the basic 8th note rock beat. Now that you’ve learned how to play its three layers it’s time to put them all together. The hi-hat is played on all 8th notes, just like we learned on the previous exercises. The snare drum is added on beats 2 and 4 while the bass drum is played on beats 1 and 3. Remember to keep the hi-hat consistent and the snare and bass drum strokes lined up with the ones played on the hi-hat.

If you’re having any issues with this beat, feel free to go back to the previous exercises and work on them for a while. Remember to practice with a metronome. Once you have the independence and timing happening come back to this beat and give it a whirl once again.

The last exercise in this lesson is your first drum fill. A drum fill is a pattern played around the drum set that among other things is used for setting a new section of a song. The beat you just learned is 8th note based while the pattern in this exercise is 16th note based – patterns with notes played on the “e’s” and the “ah’s” of a measure.

The hand with which you strike the hi-hat plays the notes of the fill on the beats (1, 2, 3, 4) and on the “&’s”, while the other hand fills in with the rest of the notes on the “e’s” and “ah’s”. As you transition from the beat to the fill you’ll notice that the hi-hat hand keeps playing the same notes it was playing on the beat. The only difference here is the instruments it hits. So a good way to start practicing this fill is to only play the 8th notes around the snare and toms by playing exactly what you were executing on the hi-hat. As you get comfortable with that transition you can start filling in the notes in between with your snare hand.

Take your time with these exercises, they may be hard to play at first but if you keep at it you’ll have no problems.

How To Play Drums beginner 2

STARKARAENG. Are you ready to learn how to play drums? You can get started by watching Jared Falk's video lesson above. It includes step-by-step training that will show you exactly how to play the beginner exercises on this page.

The four drum patterns below make it easy to learn the drums progressively. They start out with just one part of the drum kit, and eventually include all the voices that make up a simple drum beat. This way you can learn how to play the drums with baby steps.

The Basic Drum Patterns

Take a look at the first exercise below. It has a single measure of eighth notes. The count is listed above each of the eight notes in the measure. The "x" symbol above the top line of the measure indicates that these counts are to be played on the hi-hats. Start by counting out loud (one and two and three and four and), and then play the hi-hats along with your counting. Loop this a few times, and focus on playing at a consistent pace.

In exercise two, you'll learn how to play the bass drum on the one and three counts. As you can see below, the bass drum is indicated with a solid note in the bottom space of the measure. You can watch the video lesson for tips on how to play the pedal with control.

Next, exercise three includes the snare drum on counts two and four. The snare drum is indicated by a solid note on the middle line of each measure. As with the bass drum, you want to focus on playing these right with the hi-hats. The strokes should line up perfectly, so it sounds like one complete sound.

Finally, exercise four brings everything together. The previous patterns were all leading up to this. As you can see below, this beat includes the hi-hats, snare drum, and bass drum - all together in one complete beat. This is how to play the drums in a real band setting.

Be sure you really focus on playing this beat steady and in time. It is highly recommended that you play along with a metronome - especially when first learning how to play on a drum set. Everything needs to sound even and consistent. Just loop the pattern over and over until you are feeling very confident.

If you are having any difficulty with this last beat, you can always go back and practice beats 1 - 3. That will help you focus on timing and limb-independence. Then, when you feel ready, come back to beat 4.

Learn How To Read Drum Notation

This lesson is intended to give you a quick-overview of all the drum notation symbols used on this website. You can think of this page as a drum-key or legend for all the different drum set voices that you play within beats, fills, and solo patterns. You can refer back to this page if you are ever uncertain about what is to be played within certain sheet music exercises.

Note: Each measure includes four quarter notes that repeat the symbol used to notate various drum set voices. Keep an eye on the vertical position and note-shapes. They are the main differences between symbols.

Use this lesson in conjuction with the lessons on counting quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, eighth note triplets, sixteenth note triplets, thirty-second notes, and rests if you want to master the ability to sight-read drum notation. It's an extremely valuable skill to have as a drummer! STARKARAENG

Beginner Drum Fills

What are drum fills? How can they be used in a musical context? In this video lesson Jared Falk answers these questions and teaches 5 different patterns for you to use as drum fills. Jared breaks them down slowly so you can see exactly how to play them, and how they sound. As an added bonus each fill is also played in a musical context. In this lesson you can download 2 versions of the track Jared plays along to in the video. Use them for practicing these or any other fills you’d like.

Any pattern played on a drum set, or even on a pad is nothing more than a sequence of strokes. For any of the exercises shown bellow start by practicing the sequence. Once you’re comfortable with it, play the exercise to a metronome. This will help you line up the strokes perfectly. Afterwards, you can start playing the fill with a beat. Use the beat provided in the sheet music for each one of the exercises. Once you’re comfortable with it try using your own beats or any other beat you’d like instead.

Drum Fills

In this first exercise we have a basic 8th note pattern played on the snare and around the toms. This is a fairly basic stock drum fill with a decent amount of challenge nonetheless. Practice with a metronome and start out slowly. Increase the tempo of the click only when you’re comfortable with the fill. After you’re done playing the fill you can crash on beat 1 of the following measure on one of your cymbals. This is a very common procedure for signaling the start of a new phrase or section.

In this 16th note drum fill we take a step further in regards to the previous exercise. Instead of playing 2 notes per drum we play 4. This means this fill is two-times faster, so it’s really important to start out slowly with this one. Rushing the learning process may create unwanted tension in your wrists, sticks clicking, and getting poor tone out of your drums. By relaxing your grip you’ll get a richer tone from your drums, your skins will last longer, and you’ll decrease your chances of developing repetitive strain injuries. Speed comes with control and relaxation, so take your time. Also, focus on hitting the center of each drum to produce a consistent tone.

Fill number 3 is just like the previous one. However, instead of playing 4 strokes per drum we split them up between the different drums in groups of 2. The biggest challenge in this fill is getting the transition between the floor tom and snare drum, when playing right hand lead, or the transition between the snare drum and the floor tom, when playing left hand lead, flowing effortlessly. This is so because your leading hand will crossover the other hand to start hitting on the new drum, causing a lot of stick clicks and drops.

Exercise 4 is a bit more challenging than the previous ones, but it’s also a very fun one to play. The pattern is a lot more broken up and incorporates the bass drum in your fills for the very first time. Since this fill gives use to your bass drum foot in a 16th note roll, the coordination needed is a lot more demanding than if you were only playing the role with your hands. Take this exercise really slow and give your body time to really understand and perfect the timing needed for transitioning between hands and foot.

This exercise is a good reminder of how creative one can be when creating fills. Any voice of your drum set can be used on a fill, there is no written rule here that says you have to only hit the snare, toms, or cymbals. When you’ve mastered this drum fill try using your left foot on the hi-hat pedal instead of the bass drum foot as an added challenge that will increase your left foot control and coordination.

In the fifth and final exercise we take a look at another 16th note drum fill. This one is a little awkward at first because of the placement of the tom strokes. This can be especially hard if you are not used to moving your weaker arm to play syncopated notes on a different drum from the one your main hand is at. The secret to have this under control is to learn it very slow and get really comfortable with the sticking pattern.

These beginner drum fill are just to get you started. After you feel you have mastered these ones and want to learn more, you can either mix and match sections of these fills among them to create totally different patterns, or check the free drum lesson “Quarter Note Drum Fills” next. STARKARAENG

Navi Seal Six,pasukan elit AS yang Misterius

Seal Team 6 (ST 6) saat ini menjadi buah bibir masyarakat dunia. Tim “Super Elit” Amerika itu berhasil menewaskan Osama Bin Laden dalam suatu operasi militer yang sangat rahasia. ST6 adalah pasukan khusus Amerika terbaik yang misterius. Tim elit ini keberadaannya secara teknis tidak diakui, tetapi berhasil melakukan berbagai operasi militer rahasia yang besar di dunia Internasional.

Pembentukan ST 6 dengan tingkat kerahasiaan sangat tinggi ini diawali dari kegagalan penyelamatan sandera AS di Iran tahun 1980. Kegagalan misi penyelematan yang memalukan militer Amerika itu, akhirnya mendorong pembentukan pasukan elit antiteroris yang beroperasi dengan cepat dan sangat rahasia.

Tim ini mempunyai spesifikasi yang sangat dihandalkan, sehingga tak seorangpun anggota militer Amerika dapat masuk. Anggotanyapun terdiri dari pasukan elit angkatan laut AS (Navy) SEAL yang terhebat dan terpilih. SEAL sendiri merupakan kependekan dari Sea, Air and Land, pasukan khusus yang beroperasi di darat, laut maupun udara. Melihat kualifikasi tersebut sangatlah pantas kalau ST 6 disebut pasukan khusus “Super Elit” Amerika.

Operasi dari pasukan ini hampir selalu dirahasiakan. Mereka berada di luar protokol militer, terlibat dalam operasi militer tingkat tinggi dan seringkali berada di atas hukum internasional. Catatan dan rekaman operasi dari pasukan ini jarang disimpan dalam sebuah file. Seperti cerita James Bond, otoritas Amerika dapat menyangkal keberadaan dan keterlibatan pasukan ini. Kerahasiaan yang tinggi ini membuat tim ini semakin misterius sehingga daftar anggota ST6 pun tidak pernah diketahui, Namun beberapa pihak memastikan bahwa CIA telah banyak merekrut anggota untuk tim operasi khusus ini. Maka tak mengherankan mereka dilibatkan dalam misi CIA.

ST 6 biasanya beroperasi militer khusus di daerah maritim, seperti menyelamatkan kapal yang dibajak, kilang minyak, atau wilayah darat yang dekat dengan daerah perairan seperti sungai. Meski lokasi penyergapan Osama, di daratan tetap saja ST 6 yang menanganinya.. Sampai saat inipun keberadaan Angkatan Laut SEAL Team 6 disangkal oleh pihak berwenang di Amerika..

US Navy Seal

U.S. Navy SEAL (The United States Navy Sea, Air and Land) adalah pasukan khusus Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat, yang disiapkan untuk melakukan operasi tempur non konvensional, pertahanan dalam negeri, serangan langsung, kontra terorisme, dan operasi khusus lainnya.

Mereka yang terpilih menjadi anggota Navy SEAL dilantik setelah menyelesaikan pendidikan dasar Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL (BUD/S) dan program khusus yang disebut SQT (SEAL Qualification Training), baru kemudian berhak menyandang bed khusus the SEAL Trident. Bed ini merupakan tanda pengenal buat anggota SEAL dalam pertempuran bersama dengan unit pasukan khusus lainnya.

Pendidikan BUD/S berlangsung selama 6 bulan. Setelah menyelesaikan pendidikan ini, kandidat Navy SEALs juga akan memperoleh wing terjun. Kandidat yang lulus pendidikan ini otomatis akan melanjutkan ke program SQT selama 15 minggu.

Seragam lapangan Navy SEALs selalu dibedakan dari kesatuan unit tempur yang didukungnya. Seperti pada Perang Vietnam, anggota SEAL menggunakan seragam kamuflase bermotif loreng macan
