Warm up: you have made great progress with the freebound exercise. Keep practicing this over the next week. 

Fallin: practice the grooves on the first page. Especially focus on the transition into the chorus where your right hand switches to the ride. 



Also below if the fill on page 2 that you learned. Be careful that your sticking is 100% accurate as you practice this.

Come together fills just need memorising fir next week. Check your videos on your phone if you need to! 
Have a go at the second half of the instrumental section. Start just playing 8th notes for the half bar fill. When this feels comfortable see if you can start to develop them. 

Rex 08/11/18

Warm up: 
8th-16th as singles around the drums. Remember to let the sticks rebound off the drum head. 

Below are three groove examples you can play for 3 bars and then use the fill from today's lesson in the 4th bar! Make sure you Play the groove at the same tempo you will play your fill.

You have the chart emailed to you. As you practice just be mindful you are using the correct sticking!

Well done for remembering your time this week. 
Below is the chart for no one knows. You gave a video of me playing this section on your phone if you need a reminder! 
Practice this for next lesson

Keep working on the excecises from last week. Start out counting each one before you play it. 
Loop the whole line at least four times then move on to a different one. 

My name is: 
Transitions are nearly there! Counting is the key to building the coordination to play these effectively. 
Try not to rush learning each stage if this. Don't loop it too soon or try to play too fast.

Warm up with the freebound ex (hold the stick between thumb and first finger and let bounce) 
Look at ex 14 and 15 

Fallin: first page everything can be played. Practice all the transitions especially onto the rude at the chorus. Well done today!
