Syncopation by Ted Reed
Back when I used to take drum lessons, my teacher would have me swing with my right hand on the ride and play the different snare patterns in the Syncopation book with my left. At the same time I'd keep the bass drum going on the every beat and the high hat pedal on 2 and 4.
This really helped my independence between limbs and I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their technique.
Anyone do anything similar to this? The book is really a drumming gem. |
