Alternate closed hi-hat and open hi-hat on consecutive beats.
01 THE LITTLE IDEA
Here’s the lovely bit.
Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Alternate closed hi-hat and open hi-hat on consecutive beats. Play voices sharing a position together. Stick choice, limb assignment, and dynamics are not scored. Pattern positions count from 1; 1.5 is the & of beat 1, and 1.25/1.75 are e/a. Closed hi-hat at 1; Open hi-hat at 2; Closed hi-hat at 3; Open hi-hat at 4; Closed hi-hat at 5; Open hi-hat at 6; Closed hi-hat at 7; Open hi-hat at 8. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.
Today’s little goalPlay the 8-beat pattern at 60 BPM with at least 80% recall and precision.
