Partido Alto and Hand Conditioning Exercises Number 2

These grooves and exercises are found in my newest book
Practical Application Pack.

Let's use the previous lesson's rhythms as a hand conditioning exercise. This pattern is a rudimental application of a basic Brasilian rhythm. You can use this just for your hands, then add a foot pattern to develop coordination. When you have a feel for the rhythm and hand motion, apply to the drum set.

Here is the basic rhythm.

 

Now, applied as the rudimental exercise. Notice how the exercise is played hand to hand (alternating).

 

 

And now, here's a very cool samba for you, using a combination of left hand on high hat, right hand playing snare and floor tom. This is a very cool sounding groove!

 

If any of you would like to record yourself and send the recording to me, on CD, I'll put the sounds up here!
(Please do not send sound files via email. Thanks.)
