Stick Control by G. L. Stone is always a great idea to develop different skills. As you know, pages 5 to 7 of the book (known as Single Beat Combinations) have no accents. In this lesson, we’ll add accents starting with the first 12 combinations.
This is a great exercise to improve your technique and work on sticking, especially when the accent is on the upbeat of the 16th note. In the video below, I show you how to approach this workout: playing exercises 1 to 4 with four different accent combinations.
You can work on the exercise sequentially by playing the first column (ex. 1-12) with the first downbeat accent combination, repeating the single line at least four times, and then moving on with the second combination.
Here’s the PDF of the lesson with all combinations. Keep on drumming!
