Part 3 · Rudiments · Chapter 43
Accent patterns train your hands to play loud and soft notes anywhere. Play each pattern with alternating sticking. The unaccented notes stay low and soft.
Accent every third sixteenth. The accent shifts through the beat, creating a three-over-four feel.
Once these are even, play the accented notes on a tom or cymbal and the soft notes on the snare. You’ve just made a fill.
