The First Drum Lesson

A young girl went into the garage one day. There, she saw her father playing the drums. Her father saw her and stopped playing the drums. He went over to his daughter and hugged her. He said “Hi, sweetheart! How are you doing?” The girl said “I’m good, Daddy. How are you doing?” Her father said “I’m good.” The girl said “That's good.” The girl’s father asked “Do you want me to teach you how to play the drums?” The girl said “Yes, Daddy! Please, teach me.” So the girl’s father gave the girl a pair of drumsticks. Then, the girl sat down on the drum stool behind the drum set. Then, the girl's father said “Now I am going to teach you how to do a rock beat.” The girl said “Cool!” First, the girl played all 4 beats on the hi-hat cymbal. Then, she played beats 1 and 3 on the bass drum. Then, she played beats 2 and 4 on the snare drum. Then, her father said “Good! Now do a drum fill.” The girl said “Okay!” Then, she hit the snare drum, hit the tom-toms, hit the floor tom, and finally hit the crash cymbal while also hitting the bass drum. The girl said “Yeah!” and she smiled. Her father was proud of her. He said “Good job!” The girl said “Thanks, Daddy.”
