Exercise 121 Snare Drum Tutorial from the Essential Elements Percussion Book 1
In this video, we dive into Essential Elements Snare Drum Book, Number 121 on Musician's Addition. We're focusing on mastering a key sticking pattern: Right, Right, Left. Watch as we break down this pattern and guide you through isolating it for better control and consistency.
We’ll also cover:
- How to practice the Right, Right, Left sticking until it feels smooth and even.
- A quick look at flams and how to integrate them into your playing.
- Tips for getting the right sound quality and volume across all notes, especially during those tricky flam sections.
- How to connect these isolated exercises into a full measure and eventually the entire piece.
Along the way, you'll get practice strategies like having someone listen for sound consistency and adjusting your technique on both the practice pad and drum.
Remember, patience is key! Take your time to perfect each section before tackling the entire piece. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced drummer, this lesson is packed with valuable tips for snare drum success.
