Recommended Posts

HI and welcome to the first tutorial

 

you will have to firgive me as i am not a verry good speller.

 

now as its the first tutorial im not going to go into allot of detale but if you get confused or need anny more help then just post a request for a tutorial on a specific area and ill see what i can doo.

 

Tutorial 1

This tutorial will be based on your standard setup.

 

to start its allways good to have a beggining setup now i major in dance type music so i work with a standard setup of something along the lines of

 

a simple kick drum a group of two and a clap

 

the best way to set this up is as follows

 

Kick

k will represent the kick

 

H1(hat1)

h will represent hat 1

 

H2(hat2)

t will represent hat 2

 

clap

c will represent clap

 

k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k

-h-h-h-h-h-h-h

t--t--t--t--t--t--t--t

----c----c----c----c

the second hat is playd with the kick

and the 1st hat is played between the kick and second hat.

 

the clap is played on every second kick for now

like this

 

k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k

-h-h-h-h-h-h-h

t--t--t--t--t--t--t--t

----c----c----c----c
