For this week's exercise, we have got, what I believe is one of the best practice pad exercises for improving both single stroke hand speed and finger control. By isolating each hand with measures of 8th notes and playing them together as 16th notes at a high tempo we can examine and compare the technique between both hands. By incorporating the use of our fingers to control the bounce in conjunction with our wrists we can start to reach those higher tempos with our single strokes while maintaining a relaxed, controlled form.
