Basic Bembe Variations
Hello and welcome to a fun lesson on the Afro-Cuban Bembe bell pattern. We will be playing it in a more modern application. It is a great sounding pattern that will also help tighten up your right hand and right foot in this particular application.
Odd Groupings 13 – Using 5s To Help Your Independence – Part 2
Hello and welcome to the 13th Odd Groupings lesson. This time we will once again be taking a grouping of five and applying it through 16ths. This is a simple extension from the previous lesson so if you haven’t worked on that one yet, do so.
Odd Groupings 12 – Using 5s To Help Your Independence – Part 1
Hello and welcome to the 12th Odd Groupings lesson. This time we will be taking a grouping of five and applying it through 16ths. This really is an extension from Odd Groupings Part 3 so if you haven’t checked that out yet. I would do so first. This approach allows us to look at various permutations in one exercise and can be good fun as well.
Diving Into Some Subdivisions
In this lesson we are going to look at some of the less used subdivisions as well as the common ones to help us improve our timing and control on the instrument.
6-Stroke Roll Part 3
This time we are looking at how we could interpret a “standard” rhythm as a 6-stroke roll to create interesting fill patterns that have a really cool flow to them.
Odd Groupings 11 (5+7=12 part 3)
In the third and final (for now at least) 5+7=12 segment we are going to add in a couple of new fragments and work through a few fun fill options with them.
