Most challenging exercises... So far.
Hi everyone, I finally found a practice method for stick control.
In this method you are a page for 1 week daily, the technique to use are free stroke and push-pull and you should start on 60 bpm playing cut-time/halftime 1-e-&-d-2-e-&-d-1 etc, the click is 4/4.
While playing free strokes and push-pull isn't really a difficulty for me, my biggest issues are:
1.) I get chaos in my head with the patterns (while I can already remember 4 of them) and play them wrong.
2.) I can't play this counting to 60 bpm cause I can't put the counts "e", "and" and "d" in the space between the clicks, setting the metronome slower I have too much time.
What should I do? And where should I place them?
Another difficulty is I don't know what technique to use when I play rlll rlll, lrrr lrrr, llll llll and rrrr rrrr?
I'd highly appreciate your help
