🥁DRUM SOME RHYTHM INTO YOUR LIFE 🥁

This one was a bit trickier. It might help if you explained at teh beginning in slow motions where the extra beats come in. I worked it out after a while though.

Thanks for the feedback and yes slowmo would be a good idea for next time. If you are a beginner don’t get too stuck with using Grace notes as they can hinder your technique. Concentrate on the actual beats of the rhythm aiming to create good contrast between tone and slap. Grace notes are best if they are allowed to naturally occur as a rhythm and pulse gets to a state of motor memory. Have fun 🤩
