  • Lesson 12 - Dynamics
    May 2 2023

    FREE WEEKLY DRUM LESSONS

    In the 17th episode of the "I Hit Drums - A Beginner's Guide" podcast, we cover pages 76-78 of the book, where you'll work though the following:

    • Identifying Loud Strikes in Notation
    • Quarter Note Dynamic Exercises
    • 8th Note Dynamic Exercises

    The purpose of this lesson is to get the player used to controlling how hard a drum is hit. It's rare you'll hear grooves where every drum stays at a consistent volume throughout. Learning to control loud and quiet strikes, is learning to develop your own sound.
