Syncopation rhythms – dotted quarter note spacing

A page of practice rhythms, with dotted quarter note spaced notes, and no more than two notes in a row with an 8th note spacing. Most of these are already scattered all over the book Syncopation, but I like working on a specific thing without having to turn a lot of pages. Later on I’ll show you the thing I was practicing, for which I wanted this.   

These will be good for speed—when practicing systems with the 8th notes are filled in, there will be no more than two 8th note spaced notes in a row on either part. 

See also my pages of tresillo/cinquillo inversions— there are some similarly useful rhythms there. Scroll through the reading label to find more pages like this, focused around a certain type of rhythm.
