Intermediate - Great Coordination Exercise

Coordination Exercise
------------ --------
By Brandon Kelly (NDSNT_XPOSR)

AGREEMENT: I made this sheet for you to practice, but please do not use it in any of
your own music.

Part A

1. Try this snare fill first, without any accents. Keep in mind that the flam at the
end is executed by your right hand playing the full stroke.

NOTE:	Playing each beat with the correct hand and counting out loud are both very
        important in order to achieve the hand coordination this exercise offers.

2.  Once you have mastered the fill while counting OUT LOUD at the same time, add
the accents into it.  Remember only to accent your right hand?s stroke on the flam.

Part B

There is a variety of foot patterns that can be added to this snare fill.
Try practicing it 2 times with each foot pattern, and then move on to the next
without stopping.
