In recent years UK drummer Kaz Rodriguez has made fans of drumming superstars like Travis Barker, Aaron Spears, Tony Royster and Chris Coleman and become the most talked about drummer in the industry.
We couldnât include Kaz in the magazine without bottling some of that supreme talent for you to study. In this world-exclusive lesson series Kaz plays through the track âThoughtsâ from his Thoughts Vol 3 album, before talking you through some of the key drum parts in detail.
in this lesson Kaz demonstrates the main verse groove of âThoughtsâ. Itâs a basic part based on Michael Jacksonâs âBillie Jeanâ, but itâs important to get the feel right. Watch the video and try the simple version before moving onto Kazâs more advanced version with additional hi-hat parts. Both beats are demonstrated at 110bpm and 140bpm.
