Duncan Lee plays through exercise 1 for the Grade 7 Drum Kit exam.
Exercise 1:
This piece lends itself to the style of Steve Gadd with the mix of Latin texture accompanied by linear groove and decorative use of paradiddles. The opening bar displays the use of the Baião rhythm, which needs to be approached in a tribal fashion. Observe the paradiddle variations while executing dynamic versatility to make these sections groove appropriately. Be sure to feel the syncopation created by the adapted paradiddle groove in bar 5. This sets a motif for future phrasing.
