This becomes very important when considering drum patterns to dance rhythms like the beguine, the bossanova, the mambo, the paso doble, the rhumba, the samba and waltz. This is but one example of how patterns have a very different feel depending on the speed of the underlying pulse. 'Triplet feel' may look similar to swing and shuffle except that the tempo is much slower. Notice how the third and fourth examples are 'half-time' patterns, the basic beat dropping from 4 in a bar to 2 in a bar. Shuffle patterns 'swing' the rhythm as the following examples demonstrate. We illustrate this with eight bars, each two a different drum pattern, but all suffused with the hi-hat semiquavers (16th notes). The 'fizz' generated by the hi-hat cymbals can be made even more effective by playing a continuous semiquaver (16th note) line (this is called variously 16ths feel or motown) over a number of different drum patterns. Introducing more notes into the beat is one way of increasing the tension in the drum line without necessarily increasing the speed of the basic pulse. The disco pattern is a fairly sedate four-in-a-bar, with the hi-hat providing the quaver or 8th note feel. This lesson is not about the art of drumming and so we give only a few common patterns. There are many books offering written-out drum patterns which aspiring drummers will need to have at their 'finger tips'. This pattern is an 8th feel pattern, also called a disco pattern. We give an exmple of a standard drum pattern below. For our purposes here we are going to use our own convention, very similar to that used by other writers, which is as follows:

Different effects may also be indicated by a range of note heads, x, standard, open diamond, closed diamond, +, filled triangle, etc. On the five line stave shown above each line and each space is ascribed to a different percussion instrument. Indeterminate pitch percussion parts are written on staves that may have anything from one to five lines. Some whistles (aerophones) are also included in this category because they are considered to be 'sound effects'. Percussion instruments may be further divided into those instruments that produce a definite pitch and those that do not. All instruments such as drums and bells fall into this category. It includes instruments that are sounded by striking, shaking, plucking or scraping. The family of instruments called percussion instruments is large.
