Drums For Beginners: The 16th Note Feel 🥁

Little guide to getting started with a one-handed 16th note feel groove and fill for beginners. Really recommend practicing this little “three bars groove, one bar fill” loop to get fluent with going in and out of a basic fill from this groove too. Plus hitting the crash on the first beat of the groove!
Then get some music on and try staying in time. Suggest “Purple Rain” by Prince at first.
I’ve also put together a playlist of songs with this feel here: • 16th NOTE FEEL, SINGLE... - please feel free to make any other suggestions.
Notation of the full four-bar loop is here (Members): www.buymeacoff...
And play-along video about getting faster with this type of groove is here: • Play-along Speed Build...
Have fun and please let me know if any questions,
Mike 😊

Thank you so much I've been struggling with my 16th notes but that was a great help. Now I understand.

I often mess about on drums and guitar going through all my botanical plant names, thus multi tasking, walking And chewing gum... Examples.. Quercus robur 4..Quercus Petraer.. 5..Lychnis flos-cuculi..Viburnum opulus 6 convolvulus floridus or Echium decaisnei or Fraxinus excelsior all 7. Caraluma buchardii or Euonymus europaeus 8. convolvulus lopez - socasi 9 Metasequoia gliptostroboides 10.. I don't think it's doing me any harm do you?.. There's something in "if you can say it, you can play it". I dont know so many animals.. I'd like to learn Britains 16 large mammals we made extinct since becoming farmers 5 or 6000 years ago.. I wonder which beats are lying in wait?! It's almost as good as playing heavy metal records backwards and hearing " I love satan". I know the Auroch is Bos primigenius.. Which is a 6..that's a start!!! Emphasis on B and p of the epithet! Ha ha!

Good work! But Same thing could have been taught properly in less than 3 minutes .dont think it needed to be so long.
