Blinding Lights - The Weeknd

About this resource

This ChairDrumming Playalong is for Blinding Lights by The Weeknd.

• Make sure that you keep your kick, snare and hi-hat movements in time with the beat
• If you find it difficult to combine the different movements, then try the basic kick and snare drum beats before adding in the hi-hat
• Rehearse by lowering to speed of the playalong video from Normal to 0.5 or 0.75

Blinding Lights

• No drums to begin with, so make sure you count carefully and come in in the correct place
• The song features a repetitive groove, with the kick on beats 1 and 3 (and then 1, 3 and 3+) and the snare on 2 and 4
• Be ready to bring in the hi-hat in the chorus parts
