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=\"auto, (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=\"auto, (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.

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=\"auto, (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=\"auto, (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=\"auto, (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=\"auto, (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.
