Continuing to develop a method for this hemiola funk idea. Please forgive the repetition— when this is a finished method, I’ll release it as an e-book. In the mean time, I’ll be posting a lot of things not very dissimilar from previous pages. This is a page I wrote to use with a couple of my younger students.
Exercises 1-16 are for clarity about the basic coordination. Teaching this page, I have the student play them one time and stop, and ask them to play it again as necessary. Patterns 5-16 can be played repeating in time if you choose. Play exercises 17-28 one time, stopping on beat 1 of the repeat; then play them repeating.
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
