Wellerman (Sea Shanty) - Nathan Evans

About this resource

This ChairDrumming Playalong is for the sea shanty Wellerman by Nathan Evans.

• 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

Wellerman

• The verses are simple, keep the kick going on every beat
• Watch out for the chorus where the kick goes to beats 1 and 3 only, with the snare on beats 2 and 4
• The hi-hat is added in the bridge section and matches the snare
