Tom descent with space.

Descend through three drums and leave the fourth beat empty.

01 THE LITTLE IDEA

Here’s the lovely bit.

Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Descend through three drums and leave the fourth beat empty. 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; Mid tom at 2; Floor tom at 3; High tom at 5; Mid tom at 6; Floor tom at 7. 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.
