Really good lesson this week! Use page 33 of syncopation as the basis of your practice this week. 
Step 1: play each phrase as 8th notes and also 16ths. Really internalise the rhythm. 
Step 2: play the phrase on the bass drum and fill in the gaps with the left hand, play time on the hi-hat. Again do this as 8ths and 16ths. 
Step 3: do the same playing the phrase on the snare and the gaps on the bass. 
Step 4: play as a linear phrase (voice as a groove and around the kit as a melodic idea) 
Step 5: try displacing the phrase by starting it on a different beat of the bar. 
Focus on one phrase per practice session. Try applying to some songs or backing tracks!
