In this lesson we explore 4 ghost note subdivisions within a 2 measure groove. Ghost notes are extremely useful to make a groove have more feel and musicality.
In this lesson I will show you 4 useful ghost note placements and subdivisions that you need in your grooves.
The ghost notes are all in different subdivisions and placements.
We will be using 16th notes, 16th note triplets, 32nd notes, and a buzz roll.
All of those 4 simple ghost note variations are very useful for many different groove scenarios.
Instead of showing you all 4 individually in a boring exercise, we are playing all of them in a row throughout a 2 measure phrase.
Your def right about there being heaps of feel within this lesson Eric. Even at 50bpm. Another cracker of a lesson. Cheers big ears🍻✌️
WHO LOVES GROOVING WITH SOME GHOST NOTES!!
Love your lessons, always musical.
Simple and practical application for ghost notes. Very helpfull.
This video helped a lot. Good examples of different variations of ghost notes and how to play them and where to place them. . You’re right this definitely adds texture to the groove. Thanks for showing this to us and breaking it down.
Thanks Gary!
That was very good and helpful,thanks and keep on posting and you are very helping me out

Hi Eric, cool lesson. I really liked your XX intro cover. Can you tell me what rudiments I need to practice to copy that cover?
osoporro thank you for commenting. I would say practice all of the rudiments! But if you get singles, doubles, flams, then you will be off to a good start. The rest are all kinds of combinations of those! I have a course where I teach my favorite 14 on the site if you want to check it out. Thanks!
more!
The same as last time you are great drummer and a good teacher just talkin part drags
Artie, I will respectfully disagree. The talking is the bridge between the limbs and the mind - at least for me. Show and tell is working for me.
what is your snare model?
It’s Pearl Masters
Side note. I thought my balance was decent. Nah!! The placement of t 3rd hh closing was unbalancing me. 🤦♂️
Ghost notes in 16 notes sound beginner when doing notes right next to each other. Break it up or player ghost notes in triplet grid. This vid is good but I’m just not a fan of any ghost notes in 16 note grid right next to each other. Now 32 note ghost notes are good consecutively. Just not 16ths, doesn’t sound like music, sounds like hey here’s something I can practice but will never use to make a beat sound better than triplet ghost notes or broken up notings. My advice is sit on a kit and feel what you play. Do you like the way it sounds? If not change something. Learn subdivisions and master displacement and independencey with any limb to hit any note in that subdivision linear or non linear. Practice stuff that actually makes you sound better. Stuff you think sounds good, not what someone else is saying. Make the drums and how you play your own style. Because the only thing in this video that would be used in a studio or a good groove is the buzz ghost note. Yes 16ths are used in studio and in bands but and I use them too, but only at certain parts in the grid, because they can really make or break a beat. Feel what you’re playing, don’t just do it because you can. That’s the reason why most drummers overplay or just don’t ever develop the art of grooving and pocket drumming and knowing when to get flashy.
I kindly disagree. All of these ghost notes are extremely useful in all kinds of musical situations, especially the simple 16th notes.
Don’t confuse good drumming with “busy” drumming. Remember this- good drummers play what the music needs not what the drummer wants. Most songs you hear will not have complex ghost notes but simple and tasteful placements to add feel. Thanks for the comment though!
JChaos Gaming I would say this exercise is learning subdivisions. It exercises variations strung together as a groove to help you feel those different variations of ghost notes while you practice, that way whatever you feel on the kit is right there in the palm of your hand, ready to go, whenever the feeling hits you. It’ll be a challenge, sure, but I don’t (and most people who challenge themselves musically) don’t want to learn it just to show off what they can do. I want to learn it because it does actually feel good to be able to physically express music in whatever way it takes you. I get where you’re coming from, but I honestly think a lottt of drummers who play out a lot do feel the music in their personal way, and that their expressions are coming from a more genuine place than you might be giving them credit for.
