 Intro To Accents:


   For our next instalment, all the accent patterns are the same as the lesson #1. So,
 All we are doing is changing the bass drum pattern a little.. This can create some
 interesting ideas..


   So grab your metronome and give it a try..


   

 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 60 / 70 bpm's) then medium
         (100bpm) and fast up to (130 / 140 bpm's or higher if you can). 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 examples randomly, this will help your reading and visualization
         skills greatly.






 PLEASE NOTE:  The ACCENTS written here are only in regard to the HIHAT part, so you
               should play the SNARE and BASS DRUM parts with a constant dynamic.
