THE RESTS : QUATER
NOTE REST, HALF
NOTE REST ET WHOLE
NOTE REST.
The rests are defined this way : they stop sound.
Their values are defined this way : the whole note rest has the same
length as th whole note, the half note rest has the same length as the
half note and the quater note rest has the same length as the quater
note.
All exercises could be played on a practice pad, or sane drum, right hand and then left hand. A variation is to play the left hand on snare drum and the right hand on floor tom. Metronome should be set from 80 to 100.
Let start with the QUATER NOTE REST, the next exercises are written in 4/4 bars so the quater note rest is one beat long.
