Paul Wraps Music Theory, Masters Metronome
Paul killed it today! We finished the last day of the Music Theory walkthrough, covering accent notes on 16ths, quarter note separation, dribble workouts, and metering. Next lesson, we'll focus on mastering 4 new grooves!
WEEK 1 – 08.22
Mastering Rhythm & Meter
You already have a solid grasp of rhythm, meter, time signatures like 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8, and accent notes—plus you even played your own 4/4 groove! Next week, we'll dive into establishing tighter kick patterns and exploring more complex grooves.
HEY PAUL!
Welcome to Week 1!
Welcome, Paul! I'm super excited to start drum lessons with you. As we kick off this semester, let's really lean into the basics of drumming and help your internal rhythm and metronome. God is going to do great things through you!
