Exercise 123 Snare Drum Tutorial from Essential Elements Percussion Book 1

In this lesson, we break down Exercise #123 from the Essential Elements Snare Drum Book to help you develop consistency in your sound and improve your hand independence.

🔹 Key Focus Areas:
✅ Repeated hand sticking exercises
✅ Maintaining even sound between right and left hand
✅ Smooth transitions from quarter notes to eighth notes
✅ Rolls and buzz strokes with proper sticking
✅ The final flam—playing it with the right balance

One of the best ways to improve your drumming is to ensure your right and left hand sound the same. Try having a friend or family member listen without looking to see if they can tell when you switch hands!🎶 Check out our music shop!
