# Lesson: Creating Our First Beat
In this lesson, we will focus on putting together our first beat.
## Outline of Our Lesson
- **Building Components:**
- We'll start by getting the hi-hats happening.
- Next, we will add the snare.
- Finally, we’ll incorporate the bass drum.
Feel free to take this foundational beat and expand upon it by adding extra bass drums if you'd like.
## Next Steps
Once we have those elements in place, we will be ready to play our first full drum groove.
Remember:
**Count Along**: 1, 2, 3, 4.
