Free Strokes 40 bpm
LH accented singles Faster Hands (max speed is 55)
Really focus on your right hand taps rebounding off of the head (free strokes). You need to really relax your fingers and wrist to get this happening. You should feel your wrist moving for each stroke

Friction
Count out loud through measures 60-66 so you’re more sure of where you are and when the ride hits come in
Bring volume down at measure 42
Measure 30- the little beeping sound thing that plays through the 2 bar rest comes in on the & of 1. You should definitely be counting through the rest so you know when to come in on measure 32, but realize the sound will be lining up more with your upbeat counts (the &’s) than the downbeats
Work speed up to full speed, start slower so that you can clean up the parts that are giving you problems
Paradiddle Beat Permutations p.1
Line #1 and 2 with HH: Grid #1-13
See if you can differentiate ghost notes and snare accents
Count 16th notes out loud, it will help you place the hi-hat in the right spots
