In this course, students will focus on and expand their knowledge of groove drumming by adding more texture and substance using open and closed hi-hat techniques and incorporating the bell of the ride cymbal for accented patterns that will take grooves to the next level. Lessons will also focus on sixteenth-note-based grooves, focusing on new and exciting sixteenth-note bass drum patterns as well as techniques for playing up-tempo sixteenth-note grooves using alternating hand patterns.
