A very inspirational time I had travelling by car to go to school in Rotterdam. For many months I had the honour to listen to stuff that King Crimson recorded on various albums. A good friend of mine had put them on a tape cassette, so I could listen to the stuff in the car.
As a result, one simple idea never lost my attention: playing groupings of notes.
Playing groupings and move around with it, made me come up with the next excercise:
short groupings in 16th played with the regular double stroke technique:
rrllR-L- rrllR-L- rrllR-L-
I am showing you only the following order of every note and hand, played on hihat and snare only. Try to get basic idea and use it on your own drumkit, with your own choise of instrument combinations. You'll find out that it will only sound better, if you put in a lot of your own combinations.
Have a lot of fun trying this stuff, and don't forget to "tune in" next session, ok?
CAN U GROOVE IT?....... YES YOU CAN!!
