Half-Time Shuffle Grooves 🥁

Which variation sits in the pocket best?

This study keeps a steady shuffle rhythm on the cymbal while exploring different snare and kick combinations, with plenty of ghost notes adding some extra flavour.

Keep those ghosts whisper-quiet. Let the backbeat speak while the softer notes add texture without cluttering the groove.

Rhythmic Subdivisions 🥁

This study breaks down how beats divide, working from quarter notes all the way through to 32nd notes, helping you develop a stronger internal clock and smoother transitions between subdivisions.

The challenge? Keep the pulse rock solid as the notes get faster. More notes doesn’t mean more tempo!

Which subdivision gives you the most trouble?

Eye of the Beholder! 3 different signatures, 3 different tempos, same sound!

At the end of the day it’s all about perspective and how one interprets information. Interesting stuff indeed 🤓

16th Note Open Hi-Hat Beats 🥁

This study keeps straight 16ths flowing, with some tasty open hi-hat shots on the “a” of 2 and the “e” of 3, followed by four groove-fill variations that maintain that same phrasing.

Keep those open hats crisp and consistent while the groove changes around them. It’s all about creating movement without losing the original idea.

Which one has the best pocket—1, 2, 3, or 4?

Solo Starter 🥁

This study kicks off with a broken 16th-note phrase between the hands and feet, then explores different variations to keep the solo moving.

Keep the opening motif recognizable while changing up the ending. It’s a great way to develop your improvisation without sounding like you’re just stringing random fills together.

Establish the phrase. Mix it up. Make it your own.

Using Space in Fills 🥁

Sometimes the most powerful note is the one you don’t play.

This study explores sparse phrasing, showing how a few well-placed notes and intentional rests can create fills with more impact than a flurry of chops.

Let the space do the talking. Give each note room to breathe and make every hit count.

Play less. Say more. Make it musical.

Are you a fan of busy fills or keeping things simple?

5/4 Groove Study 🥁

This study keeps a syncopated 16th-note hi-hat ostinato flowing while exploring different snare and kick combinations in 5/4.

The challenge? Keep those hi-hats locked in while the kick and snare move around the five-beat phrase. It’s all about developing independence without losing the groove.

Which variation has the best pocket?

Rhythm Reading 🥁📖

This study mixes 8th notes, 8th-note triplets, 16ths, 16th-note triplets, and 32nd notes to challenge your reading, timing, and ability to switch between subdivisions seamlessly.

Don’t let the tempo change when the note values do. Keep that internal clock rock solid!

Which subdivision gives you the most trouble?

Ghost Note Groove Study 🥁

This study starts with a simple one-bar groove, then builds through four progressively more complex ghost note variations, adding layers of texture, movement, and personality.

The challenge? Keep those ghosts low and the backbeat strong as things get busier. More notes shouldn’t mean less pocket!

best feel—1, 2, 3, or 4?
