This rate can vary depending on several factors:

• Your current ability, whether just starting or preparing for grades

Beginners should focus on how to hold sticks correctly and play a basic 4/4 groove.

• Stick grip: The matched grip keeps both hands in a mirrored position for even strokes.
• Single stroke roll: It forms the basis for nearly every fill and groove you will ever play.
• Basic rock beat: This pattern underpins thousands of pop and rock songs.

With grip, rudiments, and a solid beat, you are already making music.
