The first line is for the snare sound. This can be a tongue snare, a lip snare, or any other snare. Next is the Hi-hat line, and the third is the Bass line. Another line can be added at the bottom for miscellaneous sounds, which should be defined below the tab and apply only to that pattern. Here's an example:
S |----|K---|----|K---||----|K---|----|K---| H |--T-|--T-|--T-|--T-||----|----|----|----| B |B---|----|B---|----||B---|----|B---|----| V |----|----|----|----||--W-|--W-|--W-|--W-| W = Vocalized "What?"
Beats are separated by single lines, bars by double lines. Here's a key for the symbols:
Bass: JB= Bumskid bass drum B = Strong bass drum b = Soft bass drum X = Sweeping bass drum U = Techno bass drum
Snare: K = Tongue snare (without lungs) C = Tongue snare (with lungs) P = Pff or lip snare G = Techno snare
Hi-Hat: T = "Ts" snare S = "Tssss" open snare t = front part of successive hi-hats k = back part of successive hi-hats
Other: Kkkk = Click Roll
Basic Beat
This is the basic beat. All beginners should start here and work their way up.
S |----|K---|----|K---||----|K---|----|K---| H |--T-|--T-|--T-|--T-||--T-|--T-|--T-|--T-| B |B---|----|B---|----||B---|----|B---|----|
Double Hi-hat
This one sounds cool and is a good exercise for speeding up your hi-hats without using the sucessive hi-hat sounds.
S |----|K---|----|K---||----|K---|----|K---| H |--TT|--TT|--TT|--TT||--TT|--TT|--TT|--TT| B |B---|----|B---|----||B---|----|B---|----|
Modified Double Hi-hat
This is a more advanced beat that should only be attempted if you can successfully do the Double Hi- hat pattern with perfect accuracy. It switches up the rythms in the Double Hi-hat pattern to make it more interesting.
S |----|K---|----|K---||----|K---|----|K---| H |--TT|----|TT--|--TT||--TT|----|TT--|--TT| B |B---|--B-|--B-|----||B---|--B-|--B-|-B--|
Advanced Beat
This is a very advanced beat. Only try it if you've mastered the above patterns as well as the successive hi-hat(tktktk). S |----|K---|----|K---||----|K---|----|K---| H |-tk-|-tk-|tk-t|-tkt||-tk-|-tk-|tkSS|--tk| B |B--b|---B|--B-|----||B--b|---B|--B-|----|
Techno Beat
S |----|G---|----|G---||----|G---|----|G---| H |--tk|--tk|--tk|--tk||--tk|--tk|--tk|--tk| B |U---|----|U---|----||U---|----|U---|----|
Another Pattern useful for developing fast high hats, I call this "Abhi's Beat": H |tsstk|tsstk|tsstss|tktss||tktss|tsstk|tsstss|tktk|
A variation to Abhi's Beat would be something like: S |----|----|K---|----||----|----|K---|----| H |--tk|SS--|--tk|SS--||tkSS|--SS|--tk|SStk| B |B---|--B-|----|--B-||----|B---|----|----|
