Cooldrums.ca will inspire drummers to develop an original style and modern technique by learning to play cool beats on the drums.

When trying to give your beat an underlying push, you need to repeat some sort of note structure. In this cool beat, the hi-hat and snare lock into a choppy groove that move the beat in a forward direction. Notice how on count four, the bass drum shifts over 1 sixteenth note and gives the end a solid feel. It’s amazing how just moving one little note in your beats can have such a profound effect.
