Consolidation Exercise: Eighth Notes and Eight Rests
This play along reading exercise for the snare drum caps off my videos on quarter notes and eighth notes. This one includes many new patterns and combinations not previously covered. I hope you enjoy it!
Practice Tips
This series of videos covers the combinations of quarter and eighth notes with half, quarter, and eighth rests. It's great practice for improving your rhythm reading for combinations of these types of notes and rests. Not all patterns are covered, but it's sufficient to develop an understanding of the notes and rhythm, to be able to recognize them and understand how to play them when you see them in other written music.
Try slowing it down if you need to, or speed it up if you want a challenge!
Happy drumming :)
