In this video lesson, you are going to learn how to take any regular drum beat, and change it up by playing the snare shots with cross-sticking. This is a simple and effective way to dramatically change the dynamics of any drum beat. You'll learn the technique, and four simple beats that make use of it.
Once you've mastered cross-sticking, you can move on to the crescendo & decrescendo lesson.
