Here’s what that page of 6/8 sticking patterns was setting up— and that funny joke photoshopped page from Stone: sticking combinations in 12/8, oriented like the Afro “short bell” rhythm, with one pattern on beats 1 and 4, and another pattern on beats 2 and 3. This is for people like me, who do a lot with that Afro groove— it’s one of my major personal things.
I’ll be playing through this on the drums, with RH on the cymbal, possibly with the bass drum in unison, and with the left hand on the snare, playing around with some of the usual moves around the drums. Probably with dotted quarters played with the left foot.
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.
