Adding the Crash

15/1/2020

 
Hitting the crash cymbal on the first beat of a bar is a way of emphasising that beat - Or making it stand our.  A bit like how when we are writing we use a capital letter at the start of a sentence.

You may notice that you can hear some extra fills on the recording.  True!  We have left out a few things to make it a bit easier and to play.  If you want an extra challenge, watch the video below and see if you can work out some of the things we have missed!

Vary Your Beat

12/1/2020

 
We can change the volume and intensity of our beat by changing what instrument we play our riding pattern on
Playing on the closed Hi-Hats produces a clean rhythmic sound
Riding on the ride produces a fuller more sustained sound
Riding on the crash produces a full and loud sound
