Drums

These are not notes on a note staff

like we've learned before.

Each note and cross is a part of the drumkit.

It tells us which parts we need to play.

Look at this image.

Every note/cross is a part of the drumkit we need to play.

You see three different notes and three different parts.

Which note/cross is which part?

hi-hat

snare

Not difficult in notes.

But you are the leader of the group.

You are responsible for the pulse, the tempo.

If you miss a beat, everything falls apart.
