《 Rhythmic Articulation 》
Rhythmic articulation refers to effectively adding variations of musical phrasing to
add color when a rhythm starts to become monotonous. Examples of this can be
found in the 4th bar of Rehearsal Mark A and the 8th Bar of Rehearsal Mark B. We
will introduce rhythmic articulation here using tied rhythm, which means connecting
two notes of the same pitch.
Rehearsal Mark A 4th Bar
Numbering
Count
Right hand (hi-hat)
Left hand (snare)
Right foot (bass drum)
Left foot (Hi-hat on foot)
• Open hi-hat means that the left foot does not step on the hi-hat pedal, so the
ring is not dampened.
• Make sure that the left foot (hi-hat pedal) matches the timing of the left hand
(snare).
《 Fill 》
Flam Accent Rehearsal Mark B 8th Bar
Unlike in the basic flam, in the flam accent the grace note has the same volume
as the primary note. Raise the sticks and strike the drum head from the right hand
with the strikes off-set. Practicing from right to left at first will lead to you being able
to add in things like the flam accent which combines the right foot and snare (left
hand).
