Developing Your Ghost Notes

Perfect little groove to work with for anyone wanting to work on their ghost notes.

This is for drummers around the Grade 3/4 level who are looking to develop their ghosting for the first time, but also makes a great little recap drill for drummers of all levels. It’s all about getting the notes to be as quiet as possible whilst still staying clean, and getting then to blend with the hi-hat or ride.

Thanks so much for watching, have fun please let me know if any questions, cheers :)

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop

I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:

any tips for practicing ghost notes on the electric drums? my snare's made out of rubber and feels way less bouncy than an acoustic snare :(
