Today, I’m offering a beginner’s online drum lesson. The topic? Disco!
Hey, wait! Where are you going?
The Disco Groove is actually a pretty cool beat. It doesn’t get as much love as it used to, but in the 70’s, you could hear this beat everywhere.
It’s a little tricky to play. In fact, it’s a bit of a puzzle. But, once you learn it, you’ll have a pretty good handle on how to get the “open” hi-hat sound. That sound is a big part of this beat.
Have a look at the video below, and if you have any questions, feel free…
By the way, if you want to hear some examples of this beat in action, check out the following:
