is the perfect song for drummers looking to solidify their <strong>time-keeping skills<\/strong>. It has a steady <strong>4\/4 basic rock beat<\/strong>, featuring a <strong>kick on beat one and snare on beat two<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During this song, the bass and drums lock together, teaching you the value of the <strong>relationship between bassist and drummer<\/strong>. This is particularly useful for when your playing develops and you&#8217;re looking to play with other musicians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The track keeps a steady BPM of 112, a great starting place for beginner drummers. This standard tempo is a <strong>comfortable speed<\/strong> to master a basic beat or solidify your skills. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The overall feel of &#8220;Another One Bites the Dust&#8221; is rigid with a laid-back chugging tempo, and its pop-rock genre gives you a <strong>versatile groove<\/strong> that can be utilised in other pop songs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_%E2%80%9CVultures%E2%80%9D_by_John_Mayer\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"TextRun SCXW221613378 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW221613378 BCX0\">2. &#8220;Vultures&#8221; by <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW221613378 BCX0\">John Mayer<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW221613378 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em><span class=\"TextRun SCXW168432484 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW168432484 BCX0\">BPM = 98<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;Vultures&#8221; by John Mayer is a great choice if you&#8217;re looking for a song which you can <strong>easily play along to<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With plenty of <strong>room for fills and added embellishments<\/strong>, this track is perfect for jamming with other musicians or simply in your own music rehearsal.

With an infectious <strong>4\/4 beat<\/strong>, the overall groove is <strong>upbeat and easy to lock into<\/strong>. The BPM is 103, which is a standard tempo for any pop song. This slower tempo means that drummers can have fun with the song and learn it at a <strong>comfortable pace<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The main beat features a <strong>double snare pattern<\/strong> to match the claps in the track, this is one of the song&#8217;s signature drum phrases and is continued through the verses into the chorus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The song also switches from a <strong>full-time groove to a half-time groove<\/strong> in the breakdown before the chorus, giving you a firm grasp of switching between the two.
