2 Cross Sticking Patterns

Use a palm up technique to strike the floor tom, then palm down on the hihat.

Rudimental Warm Up

Use fingers to help with the left hand triple strokes. Use bounce for the quick ruffs.

Kick Hat Snare 06

Practise a roll between hand and foot. F,R,F,R etc. This will help with the start of this beat.

Kick Hat Snare 08

Practise the 'closed' roll on the edge of the snare. See how many times you can get the stick to bounce on each hand. Then increase the tempo.

Playing Across The Bar Line

Use a metronome to keep the count while you experiment with playing over the bar line.

Linear-Type Beat

Practise cross-handed sticking between splashes and cymbals.
