Think about that for a very long moment! It is an awesome thought, but true.ġ6th 4/4 as we studied it in the Basic Dance beats lesson, is the MOST BASIC and SIMPLEST form of the rhythm, but there are 4,297,967,295 other ways to alter it. Within ANY measure of ANY 16th 4/4 song, we'll be faced with 4.3 billion potential choices as to what variation of the rhythm we may need to play. These 'other beats' Bandari, Bastaki, Slow 6/8, 2/4 and Rumba will all be covered in part 2 of my Persian drum-set performance for modern pop/dance series.Think about this. There are many other beats in this genre which are needed for a complete general understanding of Persian drumming and not all the beats are in 6/8 time.
These elements are essential for proper representation and articulation of the "Persian 6/8 Feel". This video is Part 1 of a 2 part series I am presenting on Persian Drumming and focuses on sticking, accents and groove.

Please enjoy my presentation and thank you for your interest in what I do musically. Whether you are playing drums in your bedroom or you are out performing live or in the studio, these beats are a lot of fun to play and some can be challenging too. If you are already familiar to with this music then the video could add new ideas and perspectives to your playing. If you are new to this style of music then this video will give you a good understand of these unique Persian 6/8 rhythms. I breakdown the way I play hi-hat and some sticking variations, accents and dynamics all of which are important elements in the presentation of your overall sound. I will show you the best way to count these 6/8 patterns which will make it easy for you to master the sometimes tricky phrasing in Persian music. I have charted these beats in drum notation, will discuss each beat in detail and demonstrate them in three different tempos slow, medium and fast. These beats are commonly used in today's dance or pop music modernized from traditional Persian rhythms most often played with hand drums.
For this instructional video I have compiled 10 of the most popular Persian 6/8 drum beats.
