Wormley: Cian Michael

So Michael your looking at the first four lines of overrated for next week. Take care with counting your fills!

Cian: have a go at the three different fills we looked at. Great reading and counting this week!



Fairfield: Jake Ryan Dylan

Today we did 8th notes and 16th notes as singles and doubles. Practice how to count them and remember to keep your hands soft and throw the sticks down to get them to bounce up.
We used these stickings as fill in the 2nd ex voicing it around the drums. Practice for next week please.

Fairfield : Izzy + Jamie

So today we went over our technical ex's of singles doubles and paradiddles playing them around the drum kit and to a metronome. You really did well on learning all three from last lesson.
We also looked at a new groove with bass drums on "+3". Practice this for next week please and try using your singles and doubles as a fill at the end of the bar
