Hi Robert,

You write, “When you can more or less do this, you bring in the hands and drum on your body or a table or something. Don’t play too fast or too difficult stuff. Just **subdivide the slow clicks into 4 notes** , then 8, then 16 and then perhaps 3, 6 and 12 notes.”

Did you intentionally skip subdivision into 2 notes, because you wanted us to work at cutting into 4 notes (because it’s harder)?

Thank you,  
David

Hey David, you can cut into 2 notes if that feels helpful to you. Because a bar has 3 or 4 counts most of the time I just suggested doing 1,2,3,4 and 1,2,3 but any subdivision is always good to practice. The 1,2 count (per bar) would usually be kick, snare, kick, snare.

Gotcha. You were thinking musically. I was thinking technically. All makes sense now.

Thanks,  
David
