Although most people would say &#8220;don&#8217;t practice this&#8221;, these useless drum beats will still have some related benefits that can improve your drumming. And of course, it&#8217;s always a lot of fun to just mess around on the kit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(P.S. Or you could just go straight to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/13-easy-beginner-drum-beats\/\">drum beats you <em>should<\/em> know<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beat #<strong>1: Ride\/Crash Cymbal Crossover<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is basically a variation of what I used to see Carter Beauford do. It&#8217;s basically just crossing over from the ride cymbal to the crash cymbal, or the other way around. You&#8217;ll never need to know that beat, but it&#8217;s still a fun way to practice crossovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"94\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150719\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45006\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150719\/image.png 587w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150719\/image-300x48.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beat #2: Stick Flips Groove<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple groove gives you the chance to showcase some stick flips. Every time your right hand hits the hi-hat or the snare, your left hand will flip the stick. Every time your left hand hits the hi-hat, your right hand will flip the stick. You&#8217;re never going to need this beat, but it&#8217;s a fun way to develop coordination, timing, and showmanship!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"80\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150726\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45007\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150726\/image-1.png 587w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150726\/image-1-300x41.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beat #3: One-Handed Pattern With One-Foot Doubles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a ridiculous drum beat where you only need to use one hand &#8211; and it also involves fast one-foot doubles (or you can use a double pedal). It&#8217;s not going to help you during a gig, but it&#8217;s a unique way to practice limb-independence and bass drum speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"94\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150736\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45008\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150736\/image-2.png 587w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150736\/image-2-300x48.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beat #<strong>4: Quintuplets &amp; Septuplets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This groove mixes quintuplets and septuplets. It sounds like it&#8217;s speeding up and slowing down, but it&#8217;s actually staying the exact same tempo with a shift in note value. You won&#8217;t be asked to play anything like this in anything I can think of, but it&#8217;s a great way to practice different note values and understand how they relate to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"92\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150741\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45009\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150741\/image-3.png 587w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150741\/image-3-300x47.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beat #5: 32nd Note Triplets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>32nd note triplets include twelve hits per quarter note. You&#8217;ll need to start learning this ultra-slow, and won&#8217;t be able to push it much further than 60-70 bpm, but I know you&#8217;ll have fun with this challenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150748\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45010\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150748\/image-4.png 587w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150748\/image-4-300x55.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beat #6: Tom Groove With Crossovers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the most useable beat in this list, but the awkward crossovers make it unlikely you&#8217;ll ever want to incorporate this into real music. Still, have fun on those toms and give it a shot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150755\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45011\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150755\/image-5.png 587w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/18150755\/image-5-300x53.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beat #7: Five Stroke-Roll With Your Feet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t imagine a scenario where you&#8217;ll need to maintain a five-stroke roll with your feet, but it&#8217;s still a great way to get both of those feet working independently!
