Enjoy with Playing Drum! (part. 2)

Welcome to my blog. I'd like to talk about drumming. It's easy and I'm sure that even a beginner can play and enjoy it. Today I'll talk about the second lesson. Of course it's for warm up too. But, it needs more attention and concentration. This time, add a "Ruff" at the counts. Ruff means the note played two times.
Example, RR L R L, it means that the first count "RR ..." is played two times just like double stroke. Okay, let's start.
(R=Right hand, L=Left hand, Sixteenth Notes count is = 1 2 3 4 , 1 2 3 4 , 1 2 3 4 , 1 2 3 4)
"Start slowly and then add more and more speed. Be honest to yourself. ^^"

-First, Strokes.
A. Single Stroke Sixteenth Notes (first count, right hand)
RR L R L , RR L R L , RR L R L , RR L R L
B. Single Stroke Sixteenth Notes (second count, left hand)
R LL R L , R LL R L , R LL R L , R LL R L
C. Single Stroke Sixteenth Notes (third count,right hand)
R L RR L , R L RR L , R L RR L , R L RR L
D. Single Stroke Sixteenth Notes (fourth count, left hand)
R L R LL , R L R LL , R L R LL , R L R LL

-Second, Diddles.
A. Single Para diddle Sixteenth Notes (first count, right hand)
RR L R R , LL R L L , RR L R R , LL R L L
B. Single Para diddle Sixteenth Notes (second count, left hand)
R LL R R , L RR L L , R LL R R , L RR L L
C. Triple Para diddle Sixteenth Notes (first count, rigth hand)
RR L R L , R L R R , LL R L R , L R L L

-Third, Variation Hands.
A. One-Two Stroke Sixteenth Notes (First count, "three" counts)
RR L L , RR L L , RR L L
B. Two-One Stroke Sixteenth Notes (Third count, "three" counts)
R R LL , R R LL , R R LL
B. One-Three Stroke Sixteenth Notes (First count)
RR L L L , RR L L L , RR L L L , RR L L L
C. Three-One Stroke Sixteenth Notes (Fourth count)
R R R LL , R R R LL , R R R LL , R R R LL

** Remember. You can change your first hand to another hand. Right to Left. And you can add the Accent with combination counts. Just like the part. 1.**

That's all. That's how you should warm up before playing drum or practice. This is just the beginning of playing drum. Hope you'll enjoy it. Thanx 4 reading. ^^

Welcome to my blog. I'd like to talk about drumming. It's easy and I'm sure that even a beginner can play and enjoy it. Today I'll talk about the first lesson. It's for "Warm Up" or the other name is "Sticking". There are Strokes, Diddles, and a bit of variations of hands. It's the basic if you want to playing drum. It's simple and do this about 5-10 minutes if you're just woke up, before going to school, after lunch or take a bath, and if you'll going to sleep.
(R=Right hand, L=Left hand, Sixteenth Notes count is = 1 2 3 4 , 1 2 3 4 , 1 2 3 4 , 1 2 3 4)
"Start slowly and then add more and more speed. Be honest to yourself. ^^"

-First, Strokes.
A. Single Stroke Sixteenth Notes
R L R L , R L R L , R L R L , R L R L
B. Double Strokes Sixteenth Notes
R R L L , R R L L , R R L L , R R L L
C. Triple Strokes Sixteenth Notes
R R R L , L L R R , R L L L , R R R L
D. Fourth Strokes Sixteenth Notes
R R R R , L L L L , R R R R , L L L L

-Second, Diddles.
A. Single Para diddle Sixteenth Notes
R L R R , L R L L , R L R R , L R L L

** You can change your first hand to another hand. Right to Left. And you can at Accent at first, second, third, fourth count and combination of First and Second, Second and Third, Third and Fourth and so on. It's up to you where you want to put the Accent on the sixteenth notes.**

That's all. That's how you should warm up before playing drum or practice. This is just the beginning of playing drum. Hope you'll enjoy it. Thanx 4 reading. ^^
