What's up, what's up to my intermediate
All right, I'm gonna warm up first for about five minutes
And then we'll get into what we're going to learn for today
Alright, let's go
I know I'm not showing off
8 into 16
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16
Just like playing Ariana
2, 3, 4
Step up a little louder
We're working
And 1, 2
1, 2, ready
I think I'm good
We're good, we're ready
2 minutes
Do 2 on each hand
2 on each hand
I want to see that right hand be consistent
Again, right on that right hand again
Be consistent
Again, 2
Left hand, 1, 2
Alright, so in the last video
You saw that we were working on 16
Notes with accents
8 into 16
So we got a warm up on
A little snare solo
A little snare exercise
To warm up
Alright, so
It's a new snare exercise
It's called 16 and things
And the and things are the accents
And the taps and everything
It's based around 16
Alright, so let me start my online metronome
That I should already have set
That's what it sounds like with no accents
And 1
The accents, here we go, ready
And 1, and again
You see what accents does to music
Accents and taps, how it sounds different
This is how it sounds without the accents
Had the accents with the taps
Now this is how it sounds
My hand is still in the 16 note pattern
Good, let's do the first 3 measures
Ready, and
Here's the tricky measure, measure number 4
We start on the
E of 1
1, E and up, let's do it again, ready
And 1, 16 notes
Ready, and up, again
Ready, and 1, E and up
After that, right there
That's a tap into a riff shot
Tap into a riff shot
Again, 1
Ready, and
1, and then come back in
With that little pad, the 16 note part again
Here we go again
1, let's do it again
2, ready, and
From the beginning, 2, ready
That's the tricky part, that tap
Coming from those 16 notes
1, E and up, tap
2 eighth notes, 1
You gotta keep those hands and those fingers
On the stick, so after that
Your stick stay down
And you get ready for that tap
See that tap, right there
1, tap, from the beginning
1, measures again
And the thing that changes is the last measure
Start on the E again
1, E and up, ready
Last time, 1
After that part, we got 2 more eighth notes on the right hand
And doing the same thing we was doing at the beginning
1, ready, so on that 3M
3, M, 4, E, and up
That right hand keeps going
From the beginning
You get the music on the screen
1, try to read the music
Don't try to just copy what I'm playing
Try to read the music
Alright, 2
1, 2
Ending, up
There we go, that's the whole thing
I'm gonna try this up-tempo one time
Let's max out at
Let's just stop at 100
That feels good right now
Last time, ready
And again
I hate my stick
Peace
