Description: ►FREE Book: HackMusicTheory.com/Books Learn how to improve your four-on-the-floor drum beats! Alright, so our tempo is 120 BPM, and here’s an example of a basic four-on-the-floor beat. Maybe your drums are currently sounding something like this? That’s a solid foundation for your song, but it’s gonna get boring real quick. So, here’s a hack that will spice up your four-on-the-floor drums, without compromising that dancy feel we love about this beat! So, change your grid to 1/16 note triplets, and add a few hits on the toms. Toms are great, because they add groove but don’t interfere with that vital kick pattern. You can also add a 1/16 note triplet on the snare, but be super careful with adding extra snare hits, as they can mess up that dancy feel. Hope you found this hack helpful, and if you did, hit subscribe for more :) --- ABOUT Hack Music Theory is the fast, easy and fun way to make music.
