EDS Lesson Seven  Phrasing Part 1 (introducing phrasing for fills)

Mixing accents to develop control

Here, we should look at our first example again. It is reproduced below, this time as Exercise 5. This exercise will develop the ability to play different accents fluently in a sequence.

I would suggest considering sequencing two bars at a time, if taking on all four is too difficult to begin with. This will provide good practise for putting all four bars together.

Remember to use the looping function on the DrumXtractor.
