  • Have trouble understanding and reading music notes? Then don't worry! In this drum lesson I'm teaching you about note value, music theory and basic sight reading for drummers!
    Being able to read music isn't required to be a good musician, but it doesn't hurt to be able to sight read drums. We'll go though Quarter Notes, 8th Notes and 16th Notes in this drum lesson.

    Music Theory and the ability to sightreading can definitely elevate the professional status. It can only open up the opportunities possible!

      Absolutely! I know many drummers who don't know how to read music, because they grew up just playing the instrument. But it can definitely help you out in spontaneous situations 🔥

    These are the basics I learned from my teacher. Subdivisions and note values. And counting out lout (can be difficult), which is very important. You get used to it. I wonder how you can learn drums without it. Without a sheet, I would have been lost at the beginning. Hearing and dissecting a drum track is sometimes still difficult for me, depending on the recording.

    • @ThatSwedishDrummer

      Everyone's different, ya' know!
      I know many of my classmates from Musicians Institute that couldn't read music at all, but they were PHENOMENAL drummers - because they grew up just playing the instrument.
      My first drum teacher didn't start with reading notes with me until like the 4th or 5th lesson. He made sure I got the coordination and counting down first for some grooves and basic fills, and then he said "OK, now you're gonna learn how these things look on paper!"

      @@drumkick2315 my friend who plays drums started teaching me, and he taught me by just counting. Counting 1&2&3&4& on the hi-hat, playing the 1 and 3 on kick and 2 and 4 on snare. And then I've taken it from there

    Hey CJ, that was a great lesson it caused me to think this though even though it may not have anything to do with the lesson specifically but how do you know where one is when you're playing a song.

    • @ThatSwedishDrummer
      @ThatSwedishDrummer  9 місяців тому +3

      That’s a good question, and I’m actually gonna do a video in this series about time signatures and bars/measures.
      It all has to do about what time signature it is. As long as you count - you’ll be able to find your way back to beat 1.

    Great explanation, I know probably not right but I work in numbers so
    Right Hand - 1
    Left Hand - 2
    So 1 , 2 , 1 or 1,1,2 etc

    • @ThatSwedishDrummer
      @ThatSwedishDrummer  5 місяців тому

      That's fine, but it's not gonna work in the long run. Sometimes a fill or a rudiment might start with left hand-lead, so the number thing won't really work then.
      Better to just start practicing counting out loud while playing alternating sticking :)

      Sure, but if you say the rhythm of the word - most people don't pronounce strawberry as with the rhythm of two 16th's + one 8th.
      And this is just an example, you can use whatever words you'd like as long as they have the same amount of syllables in the rhythmic sense ^^
