Lesson 11

In this lesson, students are guided through a double stroke exercise called “The Diddle Exercise” that focuses on developing rebounding technique in each hand to enhance the mastery of double stroke technique. An emphasis is placed on correct hand position, and to remove any tension from the strokes. The instructor demonstrates each of the measures one at a time, and reviews each section by incorporating a full drumline executing the exercise. The lesson concludes with encouraging students to practice at different tempos and dynamics to gain mastery.
