Day 1: Find the beat

Quarter notes

The same rhythm in our alphabet: A on each beat.

One hit on each beat. Count 1, 2, 3, 4 and play only on those counts.

Count 1, 2, 3, 4 with the metronome and play a right-hand drumstick stroke on the snare with each beat. Keep the strokes evenly spaced.

16 bars at 70 BPM, about 55 seconds. The four-beat bar below repeats throughout.
