Today we took exercise 1,3,5,7 and 9 from lesson 11 in syncopation (you should all have the sheet) and worked out how count and play each bar. Start on the snare drum or practice pad and count each phrase out loud. When it feel comfortable try pushing the tempo a little.
These all make great drum fills so if you have a kit try some different vocings around the drums!
Lastly practice the verse groove for "steady as she goes" by the Raconteurs. Watch out for the displaced snare drum on the + of 3 and the long open hi-hat on beat.
