Concentration exercise

October 9th, 2008 Olli No comments

Learned a little concentration exercise at drum lessons yesterday, which is really easy, but pretty tricky to keep doing for a while. Everyone can have a go at this, as long as you have to hands, a surface (can be a table or your legs or anything).

Tap the following with your hands:

Right, left, right, right

Then:

Left, right, left, left

And over and over again and try to increase speed. It’s called a paradiddle and you can keep saying that doing the exercise to keep on track.

If you want to make a little tougher on yourself hit the first hit a little harder so:

RIGHT, left, right right, LEFT, right, left, left

And if that bores you do a paradiddle diddle:

Right, left right, right, left, left, left, right, left, left, right, right

I can assure you, unless you’re focused you will loose track pretty quickly :)
