Reading Drum Melodic Rhythms & Rests - How to write drum patterns

So now we're going to show you our C major pattern. And I'm going to show you it on sheet music and then I'm going to show you it on the piano. But let's look at the sheet music first. So, here's our C major scale and when you read a major scale, you notice we're just reading each line and space on the step is a different note in the scale from one to seven: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Then we start again, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Flats and sharps that are in the key, are notated in the key signatures. So, this is D major and we still have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, but now it starts on D and when we get to F, there's an F sharp and when we get to C, there's a C sharp but that's notated in the key signature. But the great thing about the key of C, there are no sharps, there are no flats so we just read all the white notes going up one through seven. And then, if there's a note in between the scale, we write either like a flat, there could be flat six or a sharp six or a flat three, a sharp two. We'll go through that and show you as we actually site-read through our piece, but here's the pattern on the piano: we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and we can go through, so maybe our melody line is three, five, six, five, three, two, three. So, as we go through, we're going to be counting out the melody lines. So you don't want to get confused, I'm just going to be saying numbers between one and seven, and I'm just going to be referring to the actual scale degrees starting on C, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So I might say, "Oh, we have a flat seven, right here, flat seven, going to a flat three." So we have, here's seven, flat seven, here's three, to a flat three, right? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, flat seven to a flat three. It doesn't sound as complicated, but again, when you have all these numbers coming at you, it tends to get confusing. One, three, five, seven, flat seven. One, three, four, sharp four, five, one. So, we'll take this information and utilize it as we go through our piece in C major.
