#12.59

So I recently retrieved my drum set from the depths of my mom's spare room and brought it back to school to see how upset I can make the neighbors as I pursue the lofty endeavor of beat creation. The result- now that I've added feet back into the equation, I'm VERY AWARE of how poor my independence is!

I'll likely be experimenting with funky foot patterns until I can actually be comfortable enough to commit brain power to doing anything interesting with my hands- until then, enjoy some patterns like the following...

#12.59 || Independence A

Welcome to the world of 4-limb drumset independence - the final frontier!

Notation note: All notes for hands will have up stems (in this case, ride cymbal and snare drum), all notes for feet will have down stems (in all cases, bass drum and hi-hat). Feel free to experiment with adding tom notes and those sorts of things once you really get the hang of the patterns (that's what I'll be doing!)

Comments/questions are welcome, as always!
