8th and 16th Note Grooves - Hand to Hand (1)

We have looked at 8th and 16th Note Grooves before, however this time we are going to play the hi hat pattern (1 and-a, 2 and-a etc ... or ham burg-er, ham burg-er!) with both hands. For right-handers the sticking is going to be R R-L, R R-L - left-handed guys are going to be sticking L L-R, L L-R.

REMEMBER : The sticking above will mean that the 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the 'ands' will be on your lead hand with your following hand only playing the '-a' of each beat. This will also mean that the back-beat on '2' and '4' will also be on your lead hand.

Click through the sheets below to work through the exercises in your own time.
