THE CELLULAR PRACTICE CONCEPT
If you missed our introductory post for this practice concept, be sure to read through it here. This practice method is designed to develop the ability to move between any two ideas at will. By focusing 2 ideas at a time, one can speed up the information intake and as a result will see faster progress. The method behind it is very straight forward and simple/. One “Cell” is labelled “A” and the other is labelled “B”. Start by practicing all A’s and systematically replace them with B’s.. The sequence is the following: AAAA, AAAB, ABAB , AABB, ABBB, BBBB, BBBA ,BBAA, BABA, BAAA. It’s a good idea to repeat each part of the sequence as needed before moving on to the next. SYNKD’s proprietary ‘Bar Isolation” function comes in handy here.
Paradiddles with Accents & Flams Exercise
If you're feeling confident with your paradiddles then it's time to kick things up with this exercise featuring accents and flams on the "a" of every beat. To add to the challenge, SYNKD won't be playing the unison line the whole time; The "B cell" will only be marked by a single note on the last sixteenth note of every beat. This helps to challenge your rhythmic integrity without the aid of a unison line during a pattern that can be deceptively tricky.
