This Is The Swung Tom Tom Beats Drum Lesson
Welcome to the swung tom tom beats drum lesson. Here we will learn how to play some exciting swung drum beats on the toms which hark back to the big band glory days of the 1930s.
We start by breaking down the classic Gene Krupa groove on the Benny Goodman recording of Sing, sing, sing. This is a really fun beat to play and involves all four limbs.
From there we use it as a launch pad to learn some great variations on the hand pattern. This gives you the freedom to create your own flow which gives the impression of being completely improvised. We break these down to a beginner level but once you learn these up to speed they sound amazing.
