Guide to Basic Drum Theory

www.BreakSticks.com
In this basic drum theory lesson we will cover simple time counting in 4/4. You will learn to count quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes and then how to count combinations of them. When first learning you should count out loud as you play various drum beats (plus sign is read out load as "and"). Also, take notice of the lines and double lines that connect eighth and sixteenth notes together. This helps you tell the two apart at first glance.
