Maintain an internal count over a missing third beat.
01 THE LITTLE IDEA
Here’s the lovely bit.
Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Maintain an internal count over a missing third beat. 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. Snare at 1; Snare at 2; Snare at 4; Snare 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.
