7 + 2 ROTATION
EXERCISE
JEFF
SALISBURY This exercise, for bass drum, snare drum and three toms, uses a compound seven-note sticking pattern (RLLRRLL or LRRLLRR) (continued at bottom) |
combined with two bass
drum notes to create a nine-note pattern - thus the title "7+2." In the
audio example, a quarter-note hi-hat pulse has been added so that you can
more easily hear the triplet phrasings. |
