Drum-Bass-Rhythm Coordination

Drum-bass-rhythm guitar is called the rhythm section. This is a very important section.

Before any music is played, the drummer-bass guitarist and guitarist must get their rhythm together.

The drummer determines the tempo and the style of the music. The bassist plays in sync with the drummer's bass drum while the rhythm guitarists imitates the drummer's hi-hat.

If these three are not in sync, the result is a very much muddled rhythm. In short, the music is not 'tight'.

Thus, get the rhythm section right first before other instruments come in.
