Colin Woolway – Getting Started 'Ghost Notes....' - Issue 294

Ghost notes are nothing to be scared of if you follow Colin Woolway’s expert advice.
Welcome to another drum lesson in Colin's Getting Started series! Today we are looking at ghost notes.
What is a ghost note? A ghost note is a note with rhythmic value but no discernible pitch. For example, a muted string plucked in rhythm but with no actual pitched note. Drummers interpret ghost notes as very light, muted taps on a drum, the key word being “muted”. Please note: they are not to be confused with grace notes which have a musical pitch but no rhythmic or mathematical value! Most people’s favourite example of ghosting in a drum groove is Jeff Pocaro’s drum track on
‘Rosanna’ by Toto.
