LESSON SUBJECT TECHNIQUE
1 One-Hand Sixteenths All strokes played with the same hand
A high level of accuracy can be achieved by focusing on one limb at a time. Play each exercise several times through with just the
right hand and then just the left hand. Strive for an even, consistent sound, and try to strike each drum in the center. Exercises
15 and 16 are especially challenging due to the long reach from the hi-hat to the ride cymbal.

LESSON SUBJECT TECHNIQUE
3 Alternating Single Strokes Hands alternate throughout
The following pages contain a variety of exercises played with alternating single strokes, with the hands moving in a variety of
directions (clockwise, counterclockwise, horizontal, vertical, crisscross, or combinations). Some of the exercises might sound
somewhat routine, but the idea is to force the hands, arms, and body to move in every possible direction to increase one’s com-
mand of the drum set.
