Part 8 · Reading & Musicianship · Chapter 95
A single reading line becomes a whole new exercise when you play it on a different instrument under a groove. Here, the same rhythm is played on the snare with a rock groove, and on the bass drum under the jazz ride.
Hi-hat eighths, bass drum on 1 and 3, the reading line on the snare.
Swing ride and hi-hat foot, the same rhythm on the bass drum.
For any reading line in this book, try it on the snare, on the bass drum, and split between snare and toms.
