Surprised I haven’t written this before. Expanding on a rock beat method I use with all of my students, to make grooves in 5/4— from the book, you simply read one measure of rhythm, plus the first beat of the next measure, and make it into a rock beat following the guides below.
If you need more explanation, the 4/4 method is detailed in one of my e-books available on Amazon.
The rhythm in the book will be the bass drum and snare drum parts, with 8th notes (or quarters, or whatever) added on the cymbal. Play the snare drum on beats 2/4, or 2/4/5, or 2/3/5, with the rest of the book rhythm played on the bass drum. Piece of cake.
