Some patterns for beginners

Try to put the "form" of the Sinlge Flammed Mill into a sextuplet; it would be a 4 over 6! Use your pad and than bring it into the drumset! Have Fun!!!

Just a routine for the hands... Start with the right hand (a) and then with the left (b); repeat each 20 times ;-)

Starting from the Swiss Army Triplet rudiment, try to put over a division of 16th notes. The result will be a 3 over 4 but the hands will have the muscle memory of the rudiment, maybe I would be easier

Developing groups of five (2+3) beetween kick drum and snare on a 4/4 time and a 16th subdivision. Have fun!

Starting from a triple paradiddle, split the second half between hands and kick drum. In this way you have a powerful tool for your coordination with singles and the study of rudiments. You could play

In the first section there is a double paradiddle followed sextuplet splitted between hand and foot, so you'll play rudiments plus pure coordination using both hands. You could also play the accented note

Starting from the Flam Drag rudiment try to apply the "form" of it into a 3 over 4 frase, switching from a three subdivision into a 4, triplets to 16th notes. Have Fun!!!

In this part of exercise you could play these notes between snare and kick drum. In the first section there is a single paradiddle followed by 16th notes splitted between hand and foot, so you'll play

The idea is to develop the coordination through the "form of any rudiment". To clarify this concept you could take, as in the picture, a paradiddle and a double paradiddle and split between hand

Starting with the swing pattern try to add a paradiddle played between hand and foot. It creates a figure of four upon a three division and develops indipendence; it could be an interesting phrasing. Oh...

This is a useful workout with the single paradiddle. Starting from the original rudiment move forward the accent paying attention to the accent dynamics on the diddle (first and then second stroke). As

This is my educational post with the tag #drums! I want to share this little exercise involving septuplets and 32nd notes. Use the sticking write under and start with a slow tempo until you feel comfortable
