So now we're going to combine the high hat and the base, and the best way to do this
and have it coordinated correctly is to count it off while you're playing. So we play the
bass on one and the end of one, and then on the end of three. So we'll start by counting
the high hat and you can match them up. One and two and three and four and one and two
and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four
and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two
and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four
and one and two and three and four. Then you want to start slow and work up to a faster
speed, and you want to really feel that rhythm and that pulse as you go through and play
this simple melody. Again, you want to play the one and the end of one on the bass and
the end of the three. One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four
and one and two and three and four and. So make sure you count; your friends will think
you're crazy. That's okay.
