Connect-Type Activity

How to start a Drum Solo
  It begins with an idea you the student have thought

of from some type of inspiration and you work over
a period of time developing it
The Drummer has begun by
warming up …
  by doing practice drills to their favorite practice
loop of music samples
Once the student has
become warmed up ….
  they should be loosened up, limber and able to
begin their exploration of their solo creative
process
Now to the template, how to
begin a drum solo…
  It normally starts with a beat in your head, a

rhythm you keep hearing and you cannot rest till
you write it down and then play it!
Now you are starting to do
some impromptu…
  jamming (playing) which will help you to think “in

the moment” the shuffle beat continues “boompabomp, boompa-bomp” you continue adding accents
(light strokes on the crash, or transitioning to the
ride and keeping time on it) on the cymbals. You
learn to add random strokes on the toms, called …
We have a reason for
everything we have you
do here! You are learning to play and improvise which
is at the “heart and soul” of solo drumming!
Congratulations! You have
just played …
  the opening groove to “Ain’t that a shame” by Bun
E. Carlos on “Cheap Trick-Live at Budokan”

  You should record one or more of your runthroughs on this groove.
Are we there yet? Almost!
We cannot tell you what to
do with you solo but…
  here we have provided you with enough “food for
thought” to encourage and motivate you!
