# Bass Drum Variations

Now, example two, we're looking at some bass drum variations.

## Tendency to Rush

Sometimes there might be **two bass drums** in a row. There can be a tendency to rush those a little bit if we're not careful when we see two things in a row.

> "I don't know, something in the brain just thinks, right, okay, let's get those next to each other."

This tendency can cause things to pick up a little bit of speed.

## Tips for Steady Rhythm

- **Listen to the track.**
- **Use the guitar to help.**
- **Use the click as well.**
