THE CELLULAR PRACTICE CONCEPT
If you missed our introductory post for this practice concept, be sure to read through it here.
SIXTEENTH TO TRIPLET ACCENT EXCERCISE
This exercise is designed to develop rhythmic awareness and accent accuracy through the use of two commonly misplayed rhythms. By placing the accents on both the first and last partial of a single beat of sixteenth note and triplet subdivisions, we are forced to take ownership of the note rate in a much more accountable way than we would if we simply just accent the first note, or didn’t accent any at all. If we took away the middle notes we would be left with the rhythms that both the Samba and the shuffle patterns are based on. Working through this exercise will improve your ability to ply both with rhythmic integrity. We recommend using simple alternating stroke sticking but please feel free to incorporate your own patterns as well.
