Drums/Percussion Grade 2: Sight-Reading

What you'll learn

1. 1

   Imagine you have a drum 🥁 and a stick. When you tap the drum once, that's one sound — like a dot on paper!

2. 2

   When you see a dot on the middle line, what do you do?

3. 3

   Tap along with these dots — one tap for each dot!

4. 4

   Let's read this short drum pattern together: dot, dot, pause, dot.

5. 5

   In the pattern 'dot, dot, pause, dot', how many taps do you play?

6. 6

   Now try a new pattern: tap when you see a dot, stay quiet when you see a space.

7. 7

   If you see: dot, space, dot, space — how many taps is that?
