Brief summary of Common Drum Patterns

Last year on 10 June I started this blog! It has been a really intensive year of blogging. At this point I am in the beginning of something entirely new, learning how to compose music. In my previous post I published a brief summary of music theory. That work was the result of my frustration understanding all sorts of little confusing pieces people have written about music theory.

This time I have been studying Drum patterns. Drum people are much less confusing than the music theory people. But nevertheless I went to the library and got a bunch of books about drumming and since I am going to bring the books back I had to make my own summary of the popular music drum patterns. And since I wrote this I can also publish it. So here it is, my Brief summary of Common Drum Patterns.


I was born 1967 in Stockholm, Sweden. I grew up in the small village Vågdalen in north Sweden. 1989 I moved to Umeå to study Computer Science at University of Umeå. 1995 I moved to the Netherlands where I live in Almere not far from Amsterdam.

Here on this site I let you see my creations.
