Welcome to Lesson 2! Now that you have mastered quarter notes on the snare drum, it is time to add the bass drum. The bass drum is played with your foot and provides the low-end foundation for your drumming. This lesson will teach you proper foot technique and how to coordinate your hands and feet together. The bass drum is the largest drum in your kit and produces the lowest sound. You play it using a foot pedal with your right foot if you are right-handed, or your left foot if you are left-handed. The key to playing bass drum well is developing proper foot technique and building muscle memory through consistent practice. Foot positioning and technique: Place your foot on the pedal with the ball of your foot centered on the footboard. You can use either heel-down or heel-up technique. Heel-down is better for softer playing and slower tempos, while heel-up gives you more power and speed. For beginners, start with heel-down to develop control and balance. Keep your leg and ankle relaxed. Do not tense up. The motion should come from lifting your foot and letting gravity help bring it down onto the pedal. Think of it like tapping your foot to music naturally. Exercise 1: Bass drum quarter notes alone Set your metronome to 60 BPM. Play four quarter notes on the bass drum, one hit per click. Count out loud: 1-2-3-4. Focus on making each hit consistent in volume and timing. Practice this for 5 minutes until you can play smoothly without hesitation. Exercise 2: Alternating snare and bass Now we combine what you learned in Lesson 1 with the bass drum. Play bass drum on beats 1 and 3, and snare drum on beats 2 and 4. This creates the foundation for rock and pop drumming. Count: Bass-Snare-Bass-Snare, or 1-2-3-4. Start at 60 BPM. Keep your movements relaxed. Your right foot plays bass drum while your left hand plays snare drum. This might feel awkward at first because your brain is not used to moving different limbs independently. That is completely normal. Exercise 3: Building coordination

Welcome to your first drum lesson! In this lesson, you will learn the foundation of drumming: quarter notes on the snare drum. Quarter notes are the most basic rhythm in drumming. Each note gets one beat, and in 4/4 time signature, you will play four quarter notes per measure. This means you hit the snare drum exactly on each click of the metronome, counting 1-2-3-4. What you will learn in this lesson: First, we will focus on proper stick grip and posture. Hold your drumsticks with a relaxed grip, not too tight. Your hands should bounce naturally off the drum head. Second, you will practice playing quarter notes with a metronome set to 60 BPM. Start slowly and make sure each hit lands exactly on the beat. Count out loud: 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4. Third, practice alternating hands. If you are right-handed, play beats 1 and 3 with your right hand, beats 2 and 4 with your left hand. Left-handed drummers do the opposite. Practice exercise: Set your metronome to 60 BPM. Play four quarter notes on the snare drum, one hit per click. Repeat this for 5 minutes every day. Once you feel comfortable at 60 BPM, gradually increase the tempo to 80 BPM, then 100 BPM, and finally 120 BPM. Important tips: Keep your movements relaxed and consistent. Do not rush or drag behind the beat. Practice with a metronome every single time. Accuracy is more important than speed at this stage. Download the practice sheet attached to this lesson. It includes notation and exercises you can practice at home. Remember, consistency is key. Even 10 minutes of focused practice daily is better than one long session per week.
