Try your right hand on the ride cymbal, move it to the hi-hat, or even the floor-tom!

You dont have to play fast to groove! Work with a metronome at different speeds to develop a great groove!

Using an open/closed hi-hat can change the feel of a groove dramatically. Experiment with using the tip or shoulder of the stick for different sounds!

TOOL
Playing rock grooves generally requires a medium to heavy stick with a short taper to produce the volume necessary to cut through a rock band. We suggest using a stick made of hickory because it has a fibrous grain and is denser and more rigid than maple. Good models to look for are Vic Firths American Classic 5A, 5B or ROCK drumsticks!
For different sounds, experiment with the amount of pressure that you place on the hi-hat pedal.

These are useful for creating rhythmic variety. Listen for a half-time feel in some of your favorite songs.

The cymbal bell makes a nice change in sound - emphasizing the heavy counts one and three for this half-time groove.

These first 5 grooves are good examples of a steady swing beat with various snare drum comping. Dont forget your dynamics: the ride cymbal is strong, the hi-hat is tight and snappy, the bass drum is very soft (called feathering) and your snare drum comping rhythms are clear, but not as loud as your cymbal pattern. Listen to great jazz drummers to hear their interpretation of swing. As always, listening is your best teacher!
