Free Rock Drumming Play-Along Song

This video play-along features Sonus's song "10 Seconds" as performed by Dave Atkinson. Start by watching Dave play in the video, and then download the audio-only version that has all the drum-tracks removed. You can either play similar beats to Dave, or come up with your own original patterns.

If you aren't sure what to play for this play-along song, browse through the rock drumming lessons here on FreeDrumLessons.com. They teach literally dozens of beats and fills that work well within rock music!

Build the energy with a crescendo right in the beginning. The fill that follows
is a double bass fill.
Intro Fill
Rock Drum Play-Along
The main riff and verse are the same beat just with a different hi-hat feel. Open
the hi-hats for the intro riff and close the hi-hats for the verse.
Intro/
Verse 1

The chorus is a tricky 16th note pattern. The diamond shape is a ride bell stroke.

the verse.

Here Is What Drummers Are Saying
About The Exclusive Secret Lessons...

Dan B: Hey Jared, I just wanted to thank you for putting together the entire free drum lessons website. I love the secret lessons as they really push my creativity. The x-fill is my favorite soloing pattern now...

Robert S: ... anyway I would like to pass on my feedback to whoever is behind the secret lessons. I can't imagine why you would provide this amazing service, but I beg you not to stop! I look forward to each and every video that comes my way!

Kevin T: How did you get all these drummers to create these video lessons for free? I love this stuff and I hope you continue to create more of the secret lessons... the secret videos are far and away the best stuff on the website even though I love the normal stuff too!

Marty W: Feel free to post this on your website. I just wanted to tell you and anyone else out there how much I enjoy the secret drum lessons. I don't normally bother to send feedback about a website, but this is obviously very much deserved. I've been a secret subscriber for nearly two months and am still trying to figure out if there is a catch to all these wonderful lessons. They are just too awesome!

Dave E: I can't believe you are giving these secret lessons away for free. As a business student, I think these would make a great pay-service. I don't know why I am suggesting you make me pay... I guess I just can't believe anyone would do this for free. Thank you for helping poor student drummers like me.
