# Example Three: Combinations and Phrasing on the Bass Drum
And now, in **Example Three**, we're going to look at some different combinations and some different phrasing on the bass drum.
### What to Expect:
- You might see:
- A quarter note rest
- A half note rest
- A bar that has quarter note bass drums all the way through it
We're going to mix it up here.
### Let's Try This Example:
1. 2. 3. 4.
Hopefully, you made good use of your counting there, because we need to be extra careful where there's a half note rest.
#### Important Note:
- There’s that much more space in which we could close the gap unintentionally and come in too early with the next beat.
So, hopefully, you practiced your counting.
