We did Day 1 today
Do this every day, it takes 6 minutes. If you do miss a day, when you come back to it redo the day you left off at. If you do Day 3 and skip Day 4, when you come back do Day 3 again
Herta double bass Grid #1-9
Play 32nd note singles for each Grid rhythm, with alternating 16th note singles in between them.
Count 16th notes out loud. Remember that there are two 32nd notes in a 16th note, so only the first 32nd note will get a count
Play RH on beat 1 and beat 2 and snare on beat 2
Friction
Double bass part is sounding good, keep working on keeping the 16th notes even and switching to the triplets and back to the 16th notes
Don’t go too fast while you work on this
Start playing it to the song using the Amazing Slow Downer
