*Double Stroke Challenge*













An awkward but fun double stroke exercise that I've found to be a useful little warmup/wrist twister.

Check it out:























It looks simple enough: a routine RRLL double-stroke sticking pattern BUT the challenge is to accent every THREE notes grouping in succession. It is harder than it looks/sounds but worth the trouble (really exaggerate those accents ya dig?)

Enjoy!
