Drum and drum beats

Introduction

Some drum beats made with Sonic Pi are shown here.

Theory

4/4 beat or 3/4 beat.

Examples

First, try the different drums on the Pi:

live_loop :rummut do
  sample :drum_tom_hi_hard
  sleep 1
end

r = ring(:drum_splash_soft,:drum_splash_hard)
live_loop :rummut do
  sample r.tick
  sleep 1
end

r = ring(:drum_snare_soft,:drum_snare_hard)
live_loop :rummut do
  sample r.tick
  sleep 1
end

r = ring(:drum_cymbal_soft,:drum_cymbal_hard,:drum_cymbal_open,:drum_cymbal_closed,:drum_cymbal_pedal)
live_loop :rummut do
  sample r.tick
  sleep 1
end

<syntaxhighlight> r = ring(:drum_bass_soft,:drum_bass_hard) live_loop :rummut do
