Lesson 15

In this lesson, students are geared towards performance goals of playing “The Flam Exercise” (covered in a previous lesson) at a metronome marking of 96 beats per minute.  The exercise is demonstrated by the instructor at the same time with a full drumline, and students are encouraged to play along.  The tempo is then accelerated to 112 beats per minute, and the exercise is executed at the new tempo.  Students are encouraged to repeat the lesson until they are comfortable playing along at both tempo markings.
