READING A DRUM CHART
BEAT 4When you look at a drum chart, you see it has three rows, and a different number of columns depending on the beat.
The numbers on the bottom of the drum charts are the beat counts. You count: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, then start over again with 1 - 2 - 3 - 4. ... There is no 5!
Let’s try to count together: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - and so on.Luckily, unlike otehr musicians, drummers only need to worry about spacing. of notes.
The bottom row is for the KICK DRUM.
The middle row is for the SNARE DRUM.
The top row is for the HI-HAT.
