Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 basic groove & variations #drumbeats #drumming

1979 starts out with a cool linear groove but then adds straight 8th notes while maintaining the original pattern as accents.

When I play it I add the 16th note pattern on the hats for the chorus to imitate the shaker.

Working out the coordination on these grooves while maintaining the consistency of the pattern throughout is the tough part! But when it’s finally down it’s a blast to play!

DM the word 1979 to get help with your coordination & practice methods.
