Here’s the lovely bit.
Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Wait after the tom descent, then resolve on a crash-and-kick offbeat. 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. High tom at 1; High tom at 1.25; Mid tom at 1.5; Mid tom at 1.75; Floor tom at 2; Floor tom at 2.25; Crash at 3.5; Kick at 3.5; High tom at 5; High tom at 5.25; Mid tom at 5.5; Mid tom at 5.75; Floor tom at 6; Floor tom at 6.25; Crash at 7.5; Kick at 7.5. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.
Today’s little goalPlay the 8-beat pattern at 48 BPM with at least 80% recall and precision.
