Supplement 48B & 48C: Hand To Hand & Category 3 And 4 Combined Stickings In 4/4 & 12/8 With Ostinatos | Part 2 of 3
These two-bar phrases mix odd and even note groupings across hand-to-hand and combined Category 3 and 4 sticking in 4/4 and 12/8 — by now you should be feeling the sticking rather than thinking through it. Check your accent motion as you voice the phrases around the kit with bass drum support on the cymbal work, then add a foot ostinato underneath, starting with whatever pattern doesn’t throw off the hands.
