Train beats can be fun to play and are essential to understand for some gigs. Some drummers go years without having to play a train beat, but if you find yourself in a situation where you have to play one, you want to be ready and you want to have a few variations and options at your disposal. In this lesson, we’ll cover some basic train beats, but we’ll also cover some of the variations that I’ve come across and some that I’ve come up with and have incorporated into my arsenal of grooves.

I particularly love that last sticking. the right hand drives it and acts like grace notes leading to the backbeat left hand, and the grace note after the backbeat leads to the kick drum. Thanks for great tools Stanton!

Great video , I wish I wasn't so worried about being judged but that's why you do what you do and I do what I do :) You're getting there, you're still stick muting over some of your ghosts. You're still a little too tense with the right, just relax it a little and let it happen brother, don't stifle it.

If you can play a waltz, shuffle, back beat, swing beat, 2/4, 6/8... And a train beat, you can play most any gig. I struggle with song forms, like ending on vamps, or stops/breaks... Hopefully your bass player knows and can give you a nod when. Always look up when. You play, especially with new a new band. There is a lot of visual cues. Hope this helps Love Stanton!!

Let me add to the discussion if I may. A lot of the times I will do a train beat by playing a double stroke: r r L l, the accent being on the first left and the second left being ghosted. Every now and then I will throw in an accent on the second right and the first left: r r L l, r r L l, r r L l, r R L l. Not sure where I got that from, but I think I wanted to approach the train beat without single strokes all the time. It's a nice flow when you get it going. Great stuff as usual, Stanton.

I’m trying to reply to your comment -?made a mistake somehow. So - if I play one or two sentences from my favorite books, written in five different languages, and they all said the same thing, would they sound different on the drums?

@jimwilcox7625 2 жыл бұрын

Great stuff Stanton. I like to use single paradiddles too. They give a nice swing to this type of beat. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll throw in some quick double paradiddles as triplets but not good for fast tempo unless well practiced. Keep rockin.

I don’t know…..when we start with a favorite song, just listening and not playing yet, then start vocalizing/singing the percussive parts that our limbs want to do, the hits sound like language, The rhythm of our speech is in there, prosody - one syllable per stroke - and so the result is more musical than what results from counting numbers. I’m starting to learn/create drum patterns, fills, and licks by assigning phrases to them Now they are a lot easier to memorize By subtly accenting different words, the hits comes alive, and the player has control over the fine-tuning of that phrase. “THAT guitar is RIGHT in Tune” A seven stroke roll, accents on one and five, diminished accent on seven / so you say it as you play it, and put the accents in different places, in random places like Christopher Walken does. Larnell Lewis sounds, to me, like he’s talking.

So, the only occassion where I've ever really played one of these - is when I'm enjoying a guilty pleasure of some 80s hair metal and jamming Kick Start my Heart. But I've always played it: RRRR L like that, essentially a basic rock beat but fully on the Snare - really allows me to hit that accent hard.
