Kick then three toms.

Launch each tom descent from the kick.

01 THE LITTLE IDEA

Here’s the lovely bit.

Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Launch each tom descent from the kick. 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. Kick at 1; High tom at 2; Mid tom at 3; Floor tom at 4; Kick at 5; High tom at 6; Mid tom at 7; Floor tom 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.
