Basic knowledge of drum music theory

There are many kinds of notes (four, eight, sixteen, etc. ). Then why do they call it that? If you know their naming rules, you will understand their relationship!

First of all, their boss is a full note, representing four beats. There is a hollow Fu Tou on the online spectrum, and the notation is generally recorded as X-

Then we began to split the whole note into two parts, so it was two copies and two beats, which led to the binary note! Pay attention to two words here: two copies, two notes!

Continue to divide the whole note into four parts, then you will get a quarter note if you beat each part! Pay attention to two words here: quadruplicate, quarter note!

Continue to divide the whole note into eight points, then every half beat, and eight notes are produced! Pay attention to two words here: octave and octave!

And so on-16 points, 32 points, 64 points-

The name we emphasize here also appears, how many notes? How many copies? Are divided on the basis of whole notes! We usually call it the basic teacher! So it will be more intuitive for us to remember them in this way, and it will be easier to understand their time-value relationship!

Then, we will introduce five typical rhythms:

The so-called five typical rhythm types refer to the first eight points and the last sixteen points, the first sixteen points and the last eight points, the attachment point, the back attachment point and the segmentation.

These five typical rhythms all refer to the rhythms formed in a complete beat, which are all produced by the changes of sixteenth notes in a beat!

The first eight and the last sixteen, the first half beat is an eighth note, the second half beat is two sixteenth points, and the hitting point is on 1 and 3,4 of the four sixteenth hitting points (as shown in the figure).

Before 16 and after 8 minutes, the first half beat is 2 16 sub-notes, the second half beat is 8 sub-notes, and the hitting point is on 1 and 2,3 of 4 16 sub-hitting points (as shown in the figure).

Epidot-in fact, the real explanation is that the dot added after the note is called epidot! The duration of the dotted line is to extend the duration of the previous note by half!

When we say dotted line, we still mean the rhythm pattern formed in a complete beat, which consists of an eighth note and a dotted line (commonly known as a point eighth note) and a sixteenth! The hitting point is 1 and 4 o'clock of four sixteenth notes! (pictured)

The reason is the same: attached! It consists of a sixteenth note, an eighth note and a dotted line! The hitting point is 65438+ 0,2 points of four sixteenth notes! (pictured)

Segmentation-first cut two of the first sixteen and the last eight or the first eight and the last sixteen together, and then separate them! (This is the origin of the name. You don't need to remember it. )

To put it bluntly, it means 16 points on both sides and 8 points in the middle!

Similarly, this also refers to the rhythm pattern formed in a complete beat, and the hitting point is at the points of 12 and 4 of the four sixteenth notes! (pictured)

After understanding the relationship between notes, we should consider how to apply the relationship between notes to drum music (drum music uses staff). First of all, consider the beat. What's the beat?

Beat: Beat refers to the combination law of strong beat and weak beat. There are many notes with different dynamics, which appear repeatedly in a certain order in the same length of time, forming a regular dynamic change. So how can we express their strong and weak relationship?

Many people have heard of four or two beats (2/4), four or three beats (3/4) and four or four beats (4/4). How are these things named?

Let's take 4-2 beat as an example: 2/4 beat is called 4-2 beat. Many people think that 4-2 beat is the same as 2/4 beat. Here we tell you that this is wrong. He has nothing to do with math! You must never call it that! Of course, it doesn't matter what you call it when you study in private, but meeting someone who knows how to do it will make people laugh, haha! )

The meaning of 2/4 beat is: take the quarter note as one beat, and beat two beats in each bar. Even primary school students can say this, but many people don't understand what it means. The following is an explanation.

Let's start with 4 in 2/4: take a quarter note as a beat.

2. Two beats per bar.

(No more notes)

This picture should clearly describe what a bar is, what a bar looks like and what a bar line looks like. Of course, it also describes the relationship between strength and weakness. This is the relationship between the strength of 42 beats.

Then someone will ask why a quarter note is a beat. Let me explain:

In addition to four or two beats, there are eight or six beats ((6/8) and many others, here is just an example), and the eighth note is one beat, with six beats per bar. Do you understand this?

Once again, how do we make the beat of "singing"!

To put it simply, you clap with one hand. When the palm is up and down, it is called beat. If you clap with both hands, it's called a clap. ) If you just shoot it, it's called half-shooting. It's also half a beat to lift it. In this way, up and down add up to a beat. (equal to half a beat plus half a beat)

You can practice singing the beat with four or two shots of that picture. Don't wave empty-handed. You are used to shooting objects. The first choice is thighs. First, there is sound, so that you can get used to feeling what the beat is, what it feels like and even what it looks like. First, you can shoot at any time (you can't leave your thighs at home and go out by yourself *. *)

Now that we have learned how to sing the beat, all we have to do is practice and practice again! I recommend you to buy a set of drum set teaching materials, any teaching materials can be (as long as it is officially published), or the teaching materials for the examination grade can be. There will be many exercises in the book, from shallow to deep, singing one by one (don't forget to clap your thighs). When everyone sings various rhythms, the basic music theory will be almost the same, and then everyone will learn more difficult knowledge! Have a nice day!

Attached is a drum score, which is a bit messy. Take your time!
