This is the first video of many many videos to come! The material in this video will make a nice addition to your practice routine and will help you immensely with your awareness of time and your ability to play in time and/or to a time source! 

Here is the pdf of the fatback exercises I made reference to in the video. At minimum, you should at least be able to use the 3 subdivision counting methods in the video while playing each of these exercises. Pick a cymbal pattern, then use it will all of the exercises on the fat back sheet. Count the 3 methods against each of the exercises. 
Remember, you are looking for that uncomfortable feeling. It means there is an opportunity there to improve your awareness of time!!
