4 2 7 (tag) 9 PUPOSE: to faciliate changing stick heights rapidly; to improve accent-tap/buck quality; to promote acute listening within the line. + Focus on the taps as constant pulse. Then add accents at a full height and in a relaxed manner (micro playing/listening) focusing on constant eighth note pulse. + Practice extremely slowly: - an accent preparing for a tap (is the bead of the stick stopped 2-3 from the head?) - drop the tap in a mini-stroke (no prep stroke for taps) - prep stroke for accents (full height) + Keep fingers lightly wrapped around the back of the stick. This will allow for soft ND strong taps. + Mostly wrist for accents. t faster tempos the arm may be used slightly.

6 2 9 (tag) PUPOSE: to develop strong double stroke rolls through double triple and even quadruple strokes on one hand. + One height exercise full extension. + Keep the second (third or fourth) stroke as strong as the first by keeping fingers lightly wrapped around the stick and using mostly wrist (slight arm motion is acceptable). + The first two beats of m. 11 should be floated by the snares and tenors (pivot from elbow and shoulder). + Use a very loose wrist for the sixtuplet.

7 Triplet Diddle sim PUPOSE: To facilitate the development of a strong triplet roll. + One height exercise (keep diddles the same height as the check). + Even sound quality between right and left hands. + Keep the tempo up (the tendency is to drag triplet rolls). Copyright 2009

9 PUPOSE: to facilitate the execution of hand-to-hand triplets with various accented patterns while maintaing a strong sound quality. + Keep taps low. + Ensure that left handed accents are as strong as the right handed accents. + Other rudiments can be added to this exercise at the discression of the instructor (tap drags tap fives tap rolls flam accents flam drags flam fives cheese etc.).
