A combination of two great comping exercises to help independence and sight reading.
Here's a link to a good video on the Drori exercise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmpRuNmmF6k
Syncopation is read as eighth = snare and quarter = kick
The order of the exercise is-
Drori 8th notes x2 bars
Syncopation x2 bars
Repeat above
Drori eighth note triplets x2 bars
Syncopation x2 bars
repeat above
Drori quarter note triplets x2 bars
Syncopation x2 bars
repeat above
After completion, move on to next sticking pattern in stick control and continue to read through syncopation (not shown in video)
