Linear Drumming Pattern

A good warm up exercise. Focus on clean strokes with good time at lower tempos. Accents can be alternated between hand and foot.

Linear Drum Fill 02

Practise to a metronome at a slow tempo to ensure the cross-sticking is clean.

Kick Hat Snare 06

Practise a roll between hand and foot. F,R,F,R etc. This will help with the start of this beat.

Kick Hat Snare 08

Practise the 'closed' roll on the edge of the snare. See how many times you can get the stick to bounce on each hand. Then increase the tempo.

Sneaky Shuffle Variation

Time the drop of the stick to allow the ghostnote to land between the shuffle pattern. There is no need for much force here, simply timing.
