This time however, the double strokes will only be playing on cymbals. The parts should be fairly straight forward as you have may have covered similar in previous lessons, you can find some of these linked at the bottom of the page. Don't be afraid to start each pattern slowly and build up tempo as you get more comfortable with them.
