However, I would recommend at least one bass drum ‘kick’ on beat 1. To add the snare drum on beats 2 and 4, you choose a new line in the tablature and press ’38’ on the 3rd and the 7th eighth note.Īs said before, you can be more creative with the bass drum. To fill the measure up with Hi-Hat beats, you simply choose any line you wish in the tablature and press the numbers ’42’ (code for Hi-Hat) on every beat, until every eighth note of the measure is filled up with Hi-Hat beats. The tablature will be filled out with eighth note rests now. To write down eighth notes in TuxGuitar, you click on the eighth note symbol on your dashboard on the left:

For this example I am using eighth notes. Composing your drum trackĬonsidering the advice above, you would start to type in the steady Hi-Hat in eight or quarter notes. Other than the snare drum, the bass drum is used more freely, but usually you hit it on beat 1 and somewhere in between beats 2 and 4, for most songs. This is the tom that is standing on the floor right in front of him, which he his hitting with a foot pedal. The third instrument he is always using when playing beats, is the bass drum. On beats 2 and 4 (in a 4/4 measure) he will most likely hit his snare drum, at least that’s the way that you hear drummers play in most of the songs you hear on radio and on most rock tunes. When a drummer is playing a beat, usually he is using cymbals (like the Hi-Hat) to play a steady stream of eight or quarter notes.
