5 warm up exercises for the start of a drum lesson. Sticking patterns, drum beats, drum fills and beats with 4 way co-ordination.
These exercises that would be a good warm up at the start of a drum lesson or at the start of a drum practice session. Anyone from Grade 1 up to Grade 6 could use this as a warm up. It would be quite a challenge for grade 1. For a grade 6 player, they should be able to play through this quite quickly.
Exercise 1:
Snare drum exercise with a RRRR LLLL RLRLRLRL sticking pattern.
Exercise 2:
A drum fill exercise using a RRRR LLLL RRLLRRLL sticking pattern.
Exercise 3:
A 3 bar drum beat with open hi hats and drum fill exercise using Exercise 2 as the drum fill
Exercise 4:
Working on a 16th note hi hat pattern and moving that to a snare drum whilst adding a stepped hi hat to work on 3 way co-ordination.
Exercise 5:
Drum grooves focusing on 3 way co ordination and 4 way co ordination between both hands and both feet.
