Yeah, ghost notes.
I know everybody is wondering when I was going to talk about my ghost notes.
Well, I'm going to do it right now.
First of all, I'd like you to know where and how they came from.
Okay?
Well, it happened because as I was practicing all the time at home, I used to sit at the
drums and do things [G] with my hands.
And I just had a feeling I was always rocking, always grooving.
So as time went on, I started doing things like I was playing timbales or bongos.
This is how I started.
And I started to like the sound.
Now, as you can see,
[Gm] [G] nothing is ever precise.
It's all about allowing [Bb] [G] your fingers to do the walking.
But I had to [Dm] do that [G] with sticks.
I said, oh, how do I do [D] that with sticks?
[Bb] Boom, [G] dah, boom, boom, dah, [D] dee, dah.
Okay.
Let me see.
[Dm] [G] Let's [Bb] see.
[G] [D]
[Bb] [G] All right.
Oh, [D] that works.
[Cm]
[Bb] [G] [D]
All right.
[Dm]
[G] [D]
[Gm] Okay.
And from there, I had to [D] experiment.
Well, [Gm] what can I do, [G] Timbal?
[Gm] [D] Well,
[Dm] [G] I have.
[Eb]
Oh, yes.
Well, the [Gm] sound was [Eb]
similar.
I had to do it with my hands.
with [Dm]
[Eb] my [Gm] [Dm]
[Eb] fingers, [Gm] playing the backbeat [D] on the [Gm] cross stick.
[D] All right.
[Gm]
[Bb] [G] Oh, then I [D] discovered I [Gm] [D] got [Gm] some air [Dm] with [G] my hi-hat.
[D]
I kind of like that sound.
[Cm]
[Gm] Whoa.
[Cm] The first time that [Dm] happened to me, [A] it was an accident.
[Cm]
[Gm] [Db] [Cm] Oh, I like that.
[Gm] [D] [Eb] So I started to do a lot [Gm] more.
[G] Now I started to add [D] the backbeat.
[Gm] [Eb] I still [G] have to remember that the [Eb] stick is [G] usually the sound.
[Eb] Oh, [Dm] yes.
[Eb] Boom.
[Ebm] [Gm] I like it very [Bb] much.
[Eb] [G]
[C] [Bb] Oh, hey, [A] hey, hey.
Oh.
[Bb] [G] Oh.
[Bbm] All [F] right.
[N] Oh, yes.
And that's how my ghost notes came about and my hi-hat, my
Yeah.
