A page of technical phrases for snare drum, in 7/8 time, after Ron Fink’s book of the same name.
One thing I admire in anything technical is good structure— I talk about it, meanderingly, in this video— that makes your hands work a certain way, strengthening your technique for stating rhythm and dynamics cleanly and accurately. And we see some of my idea of that here.
They’re in no particular order of difficulty or tempo— number 2 will be trickier than the rest, I think. Leave the drags out at first.
Some will turn around to start on the opposite hand on the repeat, some you can end and restart on the opposite hand.
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.
