I demonstrate the pattern slowly so you can easily see the accents and sticking as well as provide exercises for developing your coordination and playing vocabulary with this rhythm. I also show you how to improvise fills and how to ‘shred’ with a 9 note sequence which forms the basis for this pattern. Lesson Structure 1. Demonstration - The ’Easy Shredder’ Chop @ 100 BPM 2.
