Doing the Eight on a Hand (85bpm) Drum Exercise

JOEL SIEGEL: Alright. So, we're going to do eight on a hand and we're going to speed it up a little bit. Well, the tempo that we were at earlier was 75. You may have--remember, when I mentioned we're going to slow it down fifteen clicks. A click is a beat permanent, okay? It's not--the details aren't incredibly important but anyway, we're going to go from 75, we're going to take that up to 85, alright? So, this is what the quarter notes sound like. Hear the eighth notes. So, let's do eight on a hand. I'll show you what it sounds like first. Alright. Let's go ahead and do it together. So, this is 85, just for reference when you're practicing on your own. Let's do it together now. We'll do the same thing, eight on a hand. One, two, ready, go. Alright? You may not have felt it right away but that was already ten clicks faster than what we have previously practiced it. In the next clip, we'll take it up ten more clicks.
