In the comments of the recent Chaffee linear phrases in 4/4 post, someone asked about other rhythm possibilities for the same phrases. The phrases there were ten notes long, so basically any rhythm and meter with ten notes in a measure would work.
Here are some possibilities for a 3/3/4 note pattern phrase— RLB/RLB/RLBB:
Of course there are other possibilities, but part of the point of linear patterns is continuity— introduce too long of a space to the pattern and the deal breaks down a bit. It also shouldn’t be so complicated you can’t figure it out on the fly with a lot of different phrases without writing it out.
We could also do this with partial measures, but that’s a whole other post.
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.
