1/8 Note Drumming Exercise 3

Moving on with this exercise. We start with a quarter note and we have four eighth notes. And, then another quarter note. So, it sounds like one, two and three and four. It's one, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. Put the metronome on. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. Let's play a little faster. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. Start with the left hand. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. One, two and three and four. So, practice those starting with the right hand over and over again. Until you can get faster and your confident in your reading ability. And, then try with the left hand.
