Crash and kick reset.

Land crash and kick together on each new bar.

01 THE LITTLE IDEA

Here’s the lovely bit.

Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Land crash and kick together on each new bar. 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. Crash at 1; Kick at 1; Snare at 2; Snare at 4; Crash at 5; Kick at 5; Snare at 6; Snare 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.
