1. Look at the numbering in order from the beginning, check which instrument is to be
struck, and build the pattern.
A stroke is indicated by a black dot (●). When building the pattern, there is no need to
match the tempo of the song. Start out slowly.
Ex: How to build the POP1 pattern (Rehearsal Mark A, page 10)
1: Strike with the right hand (hi-hat) and right foot (bass drum) at the same time
2: Strike with only the right hand (hi-hat)
3: Strike with the right hand (hi-hat) and left hand (snare) at the same time
4: Strike with only the right hand (hi-hat)
5-8 have the same phrasing as 1-4, so you have it down once you can play 1-4
continuously.
2. Once you are able to play the above pattern, move on to counting aloud while playing to
get the feel.
• For example, for the 8th Note Feel, count it out to feel the beat of the 8th notes.
• You can also build up to the pattern gradually by starting with just the right hand, then
adding the left hand, and then the right foot.
