Here's a nice lick that I picked up off the John Blackwell DvD - Technique, Grooving and Showmanship. He calls it the Marcus Willams Pattern. In this video I am playing the hands in unison but you can also play them as single strokes around the kit which transforms the feel and sound of the lick. Rhythm: 16th Notes Sticking 1: R/LFR/LF, R/LFFR/L, FR/LFR/L, FFRL (Hands In Unison) Sticking 2: RFLF, RFFL, FRFL, FFRL (Single Strokes) Chart:
Repeat the lick slowly until you have it down then push the pace and move it round the drums. See if you can come up with some nice sounding combinations. Once you are comfortable with this take the group of 7 (RFLF, RFF) and repeat it over 2 bars, 3 bars and 4 bars. |

I like working out J.B.lick with added quarter or eights notes on left foot (HH or Cowbell). That way u don't loose the beat and it gives u additional indepence workout. I do as well groups of 5. Swapping hands and feet is cool too.
HospyDS Says good :)
