In this simple orchestration concept you will be moving around the kit, changing voice on the three count. Remember, you hands will always be playing a single stroke nine 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.
