BEATS - "Beginner - Beginner Beats" Tablature

Official BEATS Tablature & Sheet Music »


These beats are for begineers. i used them when i first started drumming. Once you get the hang of these you can add stuff in like fills and hitting the crash symbol. As you get better you half the amount of times you hit the hit hat. A good way to learn these beats is to practice hitting the snare and bass then once you get the hang of that add the hit hat in.

These beats are a step up and were basically the first actual harder beats that i tried, i use this next beat in a band when we play dammit by blink 182. i think travis uses this beat when he drums live

HH[x-x-x-x-x-x-x-]
S [-o--o--o--o--o]
B [o-oo-o--oo-o--]

The trick to this beat is the double bass and making the snare hit the same length apart.

this next one can be used for smells like teen spirit it fits and basically sounds the same
