HARMONIC COORDINATION

The next section

is wrltten Ín harmonic coordination. Harmonic

meanÊ playing more than one hand

or foot at a time.

coordination

At first we will be concerned only with 2-PART harmonic coordination. This means we will play one pattern with the hands whlle the feet play the 6ame or a dif-

ferent pattern.

The exercises aregrouped as they rrere inthe melodic coordination section. At the beginning of each set of e:rerclses wehave lndÍcated which notes of each four-note group have identical coordination (Right hand with right foot - or - left hand with left foot); andwhich notes in the group have opposite coordination (Right hand with left foot - or - left handwith right foot). This knowledge will help your coordination until you begin to get the feel of these exerciseg.

FOUR.STAY COORDINATION In order to gain complete independence, it is necessary to develop the ear to hear more than one rhythm at the same time. The rest of this book deals with playing four rhythms at the same time: one for each hand; one for each foot. As far as the technique of playing four independent rhythms is concerned, the drummer must feel relaxed and natural whether he is playing with one or two hands oq feet or with both hands or feet. To help you feel right regardless of how many limbs are playing, practice the following exercises. In each exercise we star"t with one hand or foot and end with both hands and both feet being played.
