An item for one of my students— an adult student who is new to reading music: a page of sticking patterns, based on this 2018 post reorganizing the first pages of Stick Control. I could just circle the appropriate patterns in Stone, but I’m trying to be a nice guy and not make people flip around and go cross eyed looking at a page jammed with 500 sticking patterns when they’re just starting to read.
These mostly start with the right hand, and are relatable to normal drum set stuff when played with one hand on a cymbal. See also my page of sticking patterns for jazz from a few days ago.
Play with right hand on a cymbal, plus bass drum in unison / left hand on snare drum. Repeat many times. Do it with music to stave off boredom.
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.
