1. 5 drummer tips to play the piano in rhythm.
How to play the piano in rhythm? How to develop one's inner tempo, what is commonly called the "
sense of rhythm "?
Knowing how to play the piano in rhythm is often perceived as mysterious, even inaccessible. Rest
assured, playing the piano in rhythm is within the reach of all pianists .
1- To play the piano in rhythm, LISTEN to the music!
Train yourself to direct your listening to distinguish the different instruments of the drums.

to isolate the voice, the keyboards, the bass line, the battery ...
Concentrate on the battery . There are 3 main instruments.
The bass drum : it's the most serious sound. He plays 1st and 3rd time of each measure.
The snare drum : it is a drum that delivers a clear sound, like a kind of drum. She plays on the 2nd and
4th time.
The Charleston : it's the small, high-pitched, metallic sound that plays all the quavers. He makes "Chi-
tchi-tchi-tchi-tchi ..." over the "Boom!" Tchak! Of the bass drum and the snare drum.
Did you spot the rhythm of the song? Perfect !

tap in your hands or on the table. Do not hesitate to beat the tempo with your feet.

2. 2- To play the piano in rhythm, FEEL the music.
Train to physically feel the tempo and the pulsation. It is a pleasant experience , which can be very
powerful .From the well-being that one feels by gently waddling, to the trance induced during rituals
practiced in certain societies.
The physical feeling allows you to experience the regularity of the tempo as well as its quality . Some
rhythms can be regular, without inciting to jiggle. Others may be more volatile but " groover "
incredibly! To perceive these effects, our feet are more effective than our ears and our brains.
Walk to the tempo of the song, the right foot at the same time as the bass drum. The left foot at the
same time as the snare drum . Are you there? Bravo!
Let yourself be crossed by the regularity of the small eighths of hi - hat (remember, the little cymbals
that make "Chi-chi-chi-chi-chi"...) .Keepwalkinginrhythmandclap your hands at the same time as the

importance of playing the piano in rhythm !
Here's how to make sure your 2 hands are well coordinated to play the piano in rhythm.

3. You noticed that the 1st chord is played on the 1st beat? Great ! The 1st chord is played at the same
time as the bass drum . The second chord is played on the 2nd eighth of the 2nd beat, between the
snare drum and the bass drum.
