Learning a Beat - 2-limb + Left-to-Right Combos (22PWG)

Rotate your phone and do full screen.

6-11-21 In this Spirit Music Meetup's "22 min. Playing With God" (22PWG) video - Learning a Beat - 2-limb + Left-to-Right Combos (22PWG):

Here is 1 way to learn beats faster! Once you do this progressive (moving forward systematically) process a few times, it will be second-nature! See future parts for other ways to tackle beats, but this works!

Let's say you have this beat:
1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1/16-note counting for precision
+ RH open Hi-Hat or Splash cymbal
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + RH Time: 1/8-notes
(e) 2 (e)+ + LH Snare (soft ghosts) and Louds
u u up-strokes to prepare for next Louds
1 a a 3 a 4 RF Bass Drum
C O LF open and close if Hi-Hat used

Play these 2-limb combinations for each step below:
RH + BD
RH + SD
SD + BD
Then play this 3-limb combination for each step below:

Working Left-to-Right 1 slot (anything of 1e+a played), 2, 3, and 4 slots.
Build muscle-memory each step as you go, so you could rely on that memory to just focus on the next slot:
Steps:
1 slot
2 slot
1 slot transitioning into 2 slot
1 slot + 2 slot
3 slot
2 slot transitioning into 3 slot
1 slot + 2 slot + 3 slot
4 slot
3 slot transitioning into 4 slot
1 slot + 2 slot + 3 slot + 4 slot

You can even do the Left-to-Right method within each slot above as you go:
For example, in the 1 slot:
Play count 1 using the 3-limb combo approach (RH + LH + BD).
Then add the next thing, doing the same things, in this case the "e" on the Snare. Create muscle-memory.
Then add the next thing, the same way, in this case the "+" on the Hi-Hat
Then add the next thing, but there isn't any "a," so you are done!

Remember, if you make a mistake, do what I do. Stop and go slower so that you can erase the mistake from you memory, replacing it with the correct memory by repeating each motion 4-8 times minimum. Many recommend 20 times, gradually increasing the speed so that you don't make any mistakes. But if you do, you MUST go slower. The definition of insanity is to do the same things that created the problem in the first place and expect different results!
