1/1

Paralel Multiple ccents

The idea on this exercise is to play different accent patterns on both hands (or feet)simultaneously.When thinking on play them with the hands, formal or informal movements could be

used.

Choose two eight note long hands combination (pages 5-7 of Stick Control couldbe used for this).

Combinations 1 and 5 of page 5 of Stick Control will be used for this example(R L R L R L R L / R L R R L R L L)

Make accent patterns following the next idea: R = Accented ; L = Not Accented

With that in mind, play with RIGHT HAND ONLY pattern number 1:R r R r R r R r R r

Now, play with LEFT HAND ONLY pattern number 2:L l L L l L l l

Finally, play both hands simultaneously. Be careful with playing “ flam ed” strokes. Every stroke should sound “ as one ” , perfectly in time with the oppositehand.

R r R r R r R rL l L L l L l l

An example of 16 notes long could be this:R r R r R R r R R r R R r R r RL l l L l l L l l l L l L l l l

Right hands accents are playing the “ cascara ” pattern, while Left hand accentsare playing 3:2 son clave

HAVE FUN!!!!
