Intro:


   Here's the second instalment of our 32nd note fill in studies. The following
 exercises pick up were the previous lesson left off. So now were going to explore
 various combinations groupings. 


   A keen eye would have noticed the various 'Paradiddle' variations (single, inward,
 outward & reversed) appearing throughout the first lesson. This trend is set to
 continue, although we'll try and phrase them a little different to hide their obvious
 texture. While others are just made up of 'parts' of these building blocks.




   During this study, we'll keep the hands playing straight 1/8 note time. They will act
 as our 'guide' throughout these exercises.  You will notice also that the lead is
 changing constantly between your feet.  This can be a great exercise to break any
 dependences you might have between your right hand and your feet (for right handed
 players)



   

Aim #1: Get comfortable playing each rhythm through once, with & without the counting, if
        you can do this, try playing it 2,3,4 times through or more without stopping. 


Aim #2: Try for a range of tempos, Start out slowly (around 50 / 60 bpm's) then medium
        (80bpm) and fast up to (100/110 bpm's). The objective is make each note clean
        and evenly spaced. 


Aim #3: Try playing each line of exercises without stopping, keeping it evenly spaced
        the entire time. Next, Try 2 lines, then 3 lines and ultimately the entire
        lesson from top to bottom. To take this another step further, you can try
        playing the exercises randomly, this will help your reading and visualization
        skills greatly.



 Note: Rather than use a separate line for each bass drum, I've just combined them,
       this makes them easier to read.. The kicks will be represented with a (R) for
       Right Bass Drum and a (L) for Left Bass drum.  These lessons are also written for
       a right handed player, so you'll have to invert them if your left handed
