hey everybody I'm here today to show you
how to play a super easy 3/4 drum beat
now the easiest way to think of 3/4
timing with regards to playing the drums
is simply that there are three quarter
notes in every bar and since we know
that there are three quarter notes in
every bar that must mean that there are
six eighth notes in every bar and that
is what we will be playing on the hi-hat
those six eighth notes and we'll count
out loud
one-and two-and three-and now in
addition to playing those six eighth
notes on the high hat we are going to be
striking the bass drum on the first and
second count and the ser drum on the
third count now I'm going to play it for
you and I'm also going to count out loud
as I play it and hopefully you can play
along on your own drum kit now I'm going
to play that exact same beat but without
counting out loud now I'll play it a
little bit faster
so as you can see that was a really easy
3/4 drumbeat that you can learn to play
once again just to clarify you're
striking the hi-hat six times while
counting one and two and three and you
are striking the bass drum on the first
and second count and you are striking
the snare drum on the third count and
that's literally all that there is to it
and that's all I have for you today
thanks for watching
