    Here we have random combinations of 3 basic rhythms - quarter notes (crotchets), eighth notes (quavers) and sixteenth notes (semiquavers).
    They're easy to play at slow tempos but you'll often have to read them at fast tempos too.
    The exercises in this video increase by 20 BPM each time, starting at 60 BPM and ending at 200 BPM.
    See how fast you can sight read and play them.

    My best was at 160bpm. I completely flopped at 180bpm but did surprisingly better at 200bpm. The faster bpm speed engaged more than the slower speeds. For this, I blame intense rhythm games

    I have 4 years of drumline and jazz band under my belt. This brings me back man. Jazz band was essentially "here's the part, its 8 pages and has no less then 30 tempo changes and requires a ferret to play properly, think you'll be ready to play it in the next 5?"

    It wasn't until after I swapped videos to something else that I realized I accidentally still had this video playing at 1.75x speed. I was confused how so many people were claiming to succeed through to the end, but it makes so much more sense now.

    • @alxjones
      @alxjones Год назад

      Play though Stick Control pg 5 but every time you repeat a hand, fill in the other hand. So L L becomes LRL and R R become RLR. Eight notes become sixteenth notes. Start slow and work up the tempo. Play each line 4 times, then 2 times, then 1 time, make sure you do the fill ins on repeats and moving across lines. Your singles will get much better after doing this for a bit, and it engages your brain and forces you to look ahead which will improve your reading.
