In today\u2019s lesson with Drumeo\u2019s Aaron Edgar, you\u2019ll learn the main beat from \u201cDown\u201d by Blink-182, the intro-pattern on \u201cStockholm Syndrome\u201d by Blink-182, and a really cool pattern from \u201cTiny Voices\u201d by Boxcar Racer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. &#8220;Down&#8221;&nbsp;by Blink-182<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At first this beat might sound a little daunting with it&#8217;s 16th note hi hat pattern and 32nd note ghost hits on the snare, but it&#8217;s not actually that hard once you break it down! Let&#8217;s strip back the 16th and 32nd notes to start off and just learn the meat of the groove. Start at a nice, slow tempo.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"786\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135153\/Untitled1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7664\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135153\/Untitled1.png 786w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135153\/Untitled1.png 300w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135153\/Untitled1.png 768w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135153\/Untitled1.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re comfortable with that, let&#8217;s add in the accented 16th notes on the hi hat.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135717\/Untitled3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7669\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135717\/Untitled3.png 790w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135717\/Untitled3.png 300w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135717\/Untitled3.png 768w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23135717\/Untitled3.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To finish off with the 32nd note off-beats, we&#8217;re just going to be playing a single stroke roll between our hi hats and snare drum on count four. It&#8217;s a lot easier than it looks! The tempo of the song is 94 BPM, but we recommend starting at 60 BPM and working your way up.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"789\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23140113\/Untitled4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7671\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23140113\/Untitled4.png 789w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23140113\/Untitled4.png 300w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23140113\/Untitled4.png 768w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23140113\/Untitled4.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. &#8220;Stockholm Syndrome&#8221;&nbsp;by Blink-182<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This next groove is loaded with a bunch of off-beat shots that give it the feeling that it&#8217;s coming in from the middle of nowhere. At the core of this pattern, we have a really simple beat between the kick and snare drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very first kick drum with brackets around it means we don&#8217;t play that note the first time around &#8211; meaning the groove actually begins on the &#8220;&amp;&#8221; of one. The other two accents appear on the &#8220;&amp;&#8221; of three and &#8220;&amp;&#8221; of four as flams on the snare and toms (respectively). The album tempo for this beat is 174 BPM.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"165\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23141829\/Untitled5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7676\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23141829\/Untitled5.png 801w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23141829\/Untitled5.png 300w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23141829\/Untitled5.png 768w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23141829\/Untitled5.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. &#8220;Tiny Voices&#8221;\u00a0by Box Car Racer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final groove that we&#8217;re going to look at focuses on playing off-beat 8th notes on the ride cymbal while holding the time together on the hi hats. This means we&#8217;ll be going back and forth between the left foot and right hand in 8th notes. The groove actually takes up a full four bars with the first and third being identical, while the second and fourth have slight variations.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"865\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23142929\/Untitled7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7680\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23142929\/Untitled7.png 865w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23142929\/Untitled7.png 300w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23142929\/Untitled7.png 768w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23142929\/Untitled7.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The second bar simply changes the kick drum on count four to a snare drum.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23143237\/Untitled8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7682\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23143237\/Untitled8.png 855w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23143237\/Untitled8.png 300w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23143237\/Untitled8.png 768w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/23143237\/Untitled8.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The final variation in bar four is the only place where we&#8217;ll be adding in a 16th note in addition to a couple other changes.
