This is a super useful video I made recently outlining the four most useful methods for learning to play patterns on drums:
- Playing really-really slowly
- Separating the limbs
- Chunking
- Incremental
I use a bog standard Bossa Nova beat as an example in this video but anything you want to learn can benefit from understanding and using these methods. You can also combine methods depending on the circumstances. Try each one out and see what works best for you. Enjoy!
