Supplement 55A: Hand Ostinatos And Rhythmic Coordination | Part 1 of 3

The lead hand takes on a new 8th- and 16th-note time flow here, and this lesson pulls back the bass drum activity so you can really focus on that lead-hand phrasing. Cycle through a variety of tempos and repeat each kick-and-snare motif enough times to lock in a good feel, then start combining patterns into longer phrases — work through the more practical lead-hand phrases first before tackling the harder ones.
