Double 16th Kicks Starting On An Eighth Note

In this lesson I am going to give some grooves that involve playing two sixteenth note kicks together. These kicks will be quite quick so don't be afraid to slow the tempo right down whilst learning them. A counting checker box is given for each exercise to make sure you are counting correctly.

On this page all doubles start on an eighth note, there is Another Lesson available where similar patterns are used that end on an eighth notes.
