LESSON 1: basic drum patterns and place key


Here are all the basic quarter notes you should be familiar with. Think of this as a place to find the drum set "voices" that you will come across in different beats, patterns and fills. Each measure has four quarter notes that use the same symbol to show the different drum set "voices".





So, from the diagram above it can be said that the snare drum note is on the 3rd  line and that the bass drum note is on the 4th space and so on respectively. Take in to account the shapes (symbols) of the head and it's position.- They are very important in differentiating one note from another.
