About this resource

This ChairDrumming Playalong is for Run Rudolph Run by Chuck Berry.

  • 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
