This lessons follows on from our Single Stroke Seven Moving In Quarter Note Blocks orchestration lesson It will be much easier to follow if you are familiar with the content from these lessons.
In this simple orchestration concept you will be moving around the kit, changing voice on any '+' count which will fall in the middle of the run of sixteenth note triplets. Remember, you hands will always be playing a single stroke seven in all exercises on this page. I have included feet in all exercises, it may be worth removing them whilst you are learning the orchestration then adding them back in later. Experiment with using different feet patterns from our previous lessons. It is also work trying these orchestration ideas with all sticking and rhythmic variations of the rudiment.
