THE BASIC ROCK BEAT

Learning Intention: To play a basic back beat on a drum kit.

This is important: because all bands need a steady back beat to keep in time
together, and we will be performing in bands later this term.

A beginning beat

*I can use two elements of the drum in
practise.
*I can do this while keeping with the beat
of the song.

A hard rock sound

“TNT” – AC/DC
*I can use three elements of the drum;
hitting the snare and hi-hat together, in
practise.
*I can do this while keeping with the beat
of the song.
A basic rock back-beat
“Smooth Operator” - Sade

playing the hi-hat on every beat, in
practise.

of the song.

“Take On Me” - Aha
