Warm up with the excercises from last week but now try playing the triplet phrases around the drums in pairs. See video in your phone 

Below is the first three lines of the cgirus for no one knows. Start working on these separately and then when you are confident start combining them.

Drags looking much more secure this week. Try to play the ex all rh drags then all left hand drags. Don't worry too much if they sound a little untidy to begin with. Once the mechanics are comfortable you can start to revive the technique and sound. 

Have a play along to the track I emailed you. Focus on playing good swing time to start then see if you can add in some snare drums to "comp" along with the song. 

Thursday 3:30pm

Here are the fill phrases you looked at today. Practice as a warm up first. 

Then try to incorporate as both 8th note and 16th note fills

Drags ex watch out for your left thumb position! 

Use the ex below to work on your left foot coordination for the ride groove on page 2

Practice the intro fill for ex no 1 and the fill in bar 5. Once they feel comfortable slowly work on playing them from memory. 

Also the reverse para diddle in Barr 10. If you need a reminder of how it should sound and feel check out Tony Allen on spotify. 

London Town: tidy up the grooves on the first page. You can play all the parts for this but now I want you to focus on making it feel solid and accurate.

Triplet stucking ex. Pick 1 pattern and work on accuracy and flow. Don't hit harder as you speed up. 

Also the fills for the first chorus of no one knows: 

And then practice the intro and first groove to the track:

Ex 1 from the rudimental ritual 1/4 nite drags over the alternating foot pattern. 

Practice swing time with 1/4 notes and up beat 8ths in the left hand. Take your time and try to "hear" each ex as you play it!
