Creating phrases using linear fgures
I
n recent lessons we’ve been looking at
creating phrases out of combinations of
fives and threes with these groupings
being played using different concepts and
subdivisions as well as presenting varying
levels of difficulty. On this latter point, this
time we’ve eased off on the complexity to
offer the same phrases, though this time
featuring a 16th-note

approach
where the bass drum plays the last note of
each group.
Example 1 shows the basic groups of
three consisting of right, left, foot. The idea
is that the right is played accented, perhaps
around the toms as we’ve shown here, while
the left is ghosted on the snare. We’ve ended
this phrase with a group of four that’s also
worth gaining some familiarity with.
Example 2 shows the five grouping which
is essentially four single-strokes followed by
the bass drum though again the lefts should
be unaccented. Here we play two fives and
This month’s exercises

linear approach
one six-note grouping which again is a useful
figure in itself.
Examples 3 and 4 show the two 5/5/3/3
and 5/3/3/5 combinations seen previously
and which hint at two Latin rhythms, the
Mozambique and Cascara respectively.
Finally be sure to try all of these examples
stepping quarter-notes with the left foot.
HEADS UP!
Drumming where no two notes fall
simultaneously, with drummers such as
Mike Clark, Steve Gadd and Terry Bozzio
being early pioneers, while drummer/
author Gary Chaffee was the first to
really document it in his excellent
Patterns
books.
