BEATS - "Beginner - Beginners Practice" Tablature

Official BEATS Tablature & Sheet Music »


This is a simple beat for begginers.
And when I say \" begginers \" I mean real begginers.

x= closed hi hat
o= open hi hat



s|--o----o|
B|-o--o-o-|

Too easy ?
How about this ?

H|-x-x-x-x|
s|--o----o|
B|-o-o-o--|


Still too easy ?
How about this ?

C|--X---------X|
H|-x-x-x-x-x-oo|
s|--o--o--o--oo|
B|-o-oo--o-oo--|

And, just for that fella who commented about the open hats...USE YOUR FOOT. My mates had a good laugh when we read it.
To make the noise, use your hat foot and gently press it down and then let it come up again. The idea is to get the top hat just to hit the bottom hat then release it and let em ring. It's great for samba and stuff - so learn it !

A few more new additions to the tab:

This one requires better co-ordination

H|-o-o-o-o|
S|--o---o-|
B|o---o---|

add a double in the 2nd bass for a harder beat, or syncopate it !

Now some harder stuff - this is quite a jump from the last beat. You need to know your paradiddles.

Bell of ride cymbal and rim knocks
rlrrlrllrlrrlrll
R|x-xx-x--x-xx-x--|
S|-x--x-xx-x--x-xx|
B|o---o---o---o---|

IF u can do that invert the parradiddle like this
rlrrlrllrllrlrrl
R|x-xx-x--x--x-xx-|
S|-x--x-xx-xx-x--x|
B|o--oo--oo--oo--o|

If u can do that then modify it and put a real snare hit in it or a chime maybe.

I have a few more samba beats and latin - email me if u want them.



If you can do that then do some real tabs !!!
