The same bass drum patterns used on the previous pages are used in exercises 1 through 10 below. Notę, however, the addition of the ghost notes on the first, third, and fourth triplets. Here, the left hand remains on the snare drum throughout, while the right hand moves from hi-hat to snare drum on the fourth beat only. Th right hand can also be played on a ride cymbał in these patterns.

Once again, be surę to make a elear distinction between the soft ghost notes and the strong accents on 2 and 4
