Sticking For The Single Stroke 5 In 3/4

In this lesson you will be applying the single stroke 5 sticking in the time signature of 3/4. The standard sticking doesn't quite fit within this context, but when played over two bars the start of the rudiment will line up with the start of the bar again. As you can see in the second exercise, the abbreviated sticking fits really nicely in this time signature. As with all rudiment exercises, use this to develop your technique. You should also ensure all dynamic levels are even.
