The following examples demonstrate the use of two common rhythms consisting of two sixteenth notes and an eighth note within a beat. Be sure to count out loud as you play. Play examples 69 and 70 RLRL and LRLR as well as RRRR and LLLL.
Once you have control of these rhythms, try playing them on the hi hat with the right hand as demonstrated in the following examples. You could also use these hi hat patterns with some of the eighth note grooves you learned earlier in the book. Experiment!
