### Drum Kit Lesson Overview
Okay, so hopefully you're now feeling a bit more comfortable playing those two voices on the drum kit.
#### Hi-Hats and Snare Drums
We've had quite a lot of:
- Hi-hats
- Snare drums
These have been placed in different parts of the beat within the bar, and we've also dealt with some rests.
#### Counting Practice
So you're practicing your counting and getting confident coming in during the next bar.
#### Playing in Unison
Obviously, we haven't yet played them in unison, which you will be doing as we work towards playing the pieces.
- Playing in unison means hitting them at the same time.
- But we'll get there!
#### Right-Handed vs. Left-Handed
The main thing is, you're comfortable playing your hi-hats.
- If you're right-handed:
- You've been playing the hi-hats probably with your right hand and the snare with your left hand.
- If you're left-handed:
- You've been playing your hi-hats with your left hand and the snares with your right hand.
So, yeah, lots to look forward to in the next section!
