Development of the Two Sound Levels with the Hands
T
he HH, SD and BD are the three basic drum set components used in the funk
L
drumming style. Understanding how these voices interact is an important key to
building a powerful vocabulary. This graph illustrates the dynamic distances among
these three voices.

These levels are always controlled by the overall dynamic level of the music being played.
In a normal playing situation, the rimshot may or may not be forte (f ). This is determined
by the situation. The graph illustrates the differences in the two levels and is not meant to
be interpreted literally. Most recordings will reflect what is seen in this graph.

Accented notes = mf/f (8" – 12")
Non-accented notes (ghosted) = p/ppp (1/2")

• The rim shot is an important part of the funk sound. The stick strikes the rim
and center of the drumhead simultaneously. Striking the center of the drumhead
produces the biggest sound. Additional rim shot sounds can be produced by using
other areas of the drum.
P
• The dynamic contrast in these two sounds should be that of a whisper to a
shout.
M
• The LF/HH should be played with the heel up, as this produces a shorter and
O
much more defined “chick” sound than with the heel down on the footboard.
C
• To build endurance and “groovability”, you should strive to be able to play each

M
pattern, sustaining intensity for five minutes without stopping.
C
• In the initial stages of development, practice the patterns slowly. This technique
I
allows you to watch each note as it goes by and then make any adjustments neces-
sary for accurate execution.

The concept here is to suspend the sound across the bar line, following the length of the figure,
while keeping the momentum of the groove going forward. The initial figure (meas. 81) is played
with crash cymbal and bass drum. After that (meas. 93 to end), either a snare drum with crash
4
/4
cymbal, or snare drum with open hi-hat is used.
