@basicdrumlessons: 🥁 The Eighth Note pulse is counted as 1&2&3&4&. The “&” counts are referred to as the upbeats. When the bass drum plays on the upbeats, it creates strong syncopation by pushing against the main pulse and adding tension and motion 🎶 Practice drums daily 🌞 Save + share with a drum buddy 👨🏻🤝👨🏿 #basicdrumlessons #drumlessons #drumlessonsforbeginners #syncopation #drumbeats
