Here's this week's warm up exercise. Again based on the sticking for the 5 stroke roll but voiced in a different way across the kit creating a "phrase".
The first line is the basic sticking playing the 1st and fourth stroke on the toms (right hand on the floor tom left hand on the high tom). Take care with the second part starting with the left hand on the three this will feel odd to begin with!!!
The second exercise is the same but after playing the right hand lead there isn't such a long gap before starting the left hand lead. This creates a really nice syncopated feel. Take your time with it and count!!!
The last two lines are just examples of how you could use the above stickings as a fill with a groove. Remember play three bars of str8 groove before the bar with the fill.
This should get your hands and your brain working good and hard :) enjoy!!
