Lesson 8: Eighth-Note Time | 50 Drum Lessons For Beginners

In Lesson 8, we learn how to play basic eighth-note (quaver) time on both the hi-hat and the ride cymbal. We then start to add the crash on beat 1, before incorporating fills after 3 bars of time. Play along on your drum kit, making sure you've mastered each exercise (even if it's at a slower tempo) before moving on!

📌 Time stamps:
0:00 Intro
0:10 Ex. 1 – just hi-hat
0:34 Ex. 2 – adding the snare
0:57 Ex. 3 – adding the bass
1:18 Ex. 4 – 8th-note time on the ride
1:38 Ex. 5 – adding left foot
1:59 Ex. 6 – crash on beat 1
2:38 Ex. 7 – crash on beat 1 whilst on the ride
3:15 Ex. 8 – 8th-note time with fill – 1
3:46 Ex. 9 – 8th-note time with fill – 2
4:17 Ex. 10 – 8th-note time with fill – 3

I'd like to know why does this need a rest on bass drum (exercise 3) when you can actually just take it out?
