We will look at more exercises to improve our playing, looking at speed and stamina. Whichever technique you use to play, these will be useful for getting those chops built up.

For this session you will ideally use a tamborim and flexible stick. If you don’t have these, or it’s too loud to play at home, then we can improvise. For the tamborim, the best option is a pvc pipe end cap like this one or a tamborim with a silent head, otherwise a book or something would do. For the stick, you can make do with a regular drumsitck , or people have suggested certain types of hose piping, bits of coat hangers, glue sticks… you’ll make it work.
