The BASIC BEAT

The Basic Beat

The basic beat is a rhythm that has become popular in music over the last 100 years. Originally it comes from marching music where the BASS DRUM is played on each left foot, every 1st and 3rd beat of the music. The snare drum is played on the 2nd and 4th beat, this is called the BACK BEAT.

To make the beat more interesting modern music adds bass drum beats to the pattern to create variations. These variations add interest to the sections of the music.
