In this video I present some ideas that can help beginning drummers to loosen up and start improvising rock beats. We will take a basic 8th note hihat pattern and just play some bass and snare against it. It's easy when you're not worrying about the outcome.

00:00 Intro
01:16 Random bass and snare loosening up exercise
04:00 Playing a pattern
05:30 Crashes
06:52 Adding structure
10:08 Alternating between a specific groove ind improvisation
13:58 Improvising on a musical idea
15:43 Outro

If you'd like some help with your drumming, I offer one-to-one lessons online via Zoom or Skype.
