#13.00

Here's a bit of a longer lick, a whopping 8 counts! I've been experimenting with a lot of paradiddly-type patterns lately with a lot of left handed accents and the second bar in this figure is a result of some of that.

I really enjoy the accents on the "e"s in the first measure, the alternating Check 4's (1e&- 2e&- pattern). To play these evenly, you'll probably want to isolate the figure and build up the rhythm by paying extra attention to the skeleton pattern of low eighth notes underneath- play just the eighths first (r r l l r r l l), then insert the accented "e"s (try to insert one at a time). Listening for the low eighth notes while playing the whole bar on a loop is fun.
