HARMONIC COORDINATION

The next section is wrltten n harmonic coordination. Harmonic coordinationmean playing more than one hand or foot at a time.

At first we will be concerned only with 2-PART harmonic coordination. Thismeans we will play one pattern with the hands whlle the feet play the 6ame or a dif-ferent pattern.

The exercises aregrouped as they rrere inthe melodic coordination section. Atthe beginning of each set of e:rerclses wehave lndcated which notes of each four-notegroup have identical coordination (Right hand with right foot - or - left hand with leftfoot); andwhich notes in the group have opposite coordination (Right hand with left foot- or - left handwith right foot). This knowledge will help your coordination until youbegin to get the feel of these exerciseg.

FOUR.STAY COORDINATION

In order to gain complete independence, it is necessary to develop the ear tohear more than one rhythm at the same time. The rest of this book deals with play-ing four rhythms at the same time: one for each hand; one for each foot.

As far as the technique of playing four independent rhythms is concerned, thedrummer must feel relaxed and natural whether he is playing with one or two handsoq feet or with both hands or feet. To help you feel right regardless of how manylimbs are playing, practice the following exercises. In each exercise we star"t withone hand or foot and end with both hands and both feet being played.
