Cross-Rhythmic Exercise in 7/8 - 2

  • This coordination exercise is a six-measure cycle.
  • The accent pattern resolves every twelve sixteenth notes (and there are fourteen sixteenth notes in each measure).
  • I played the two lines once as written, and then once again but doubling the unaccented notes.
  • I played a wood block with my left foot, but you can also play the hi-hat or the bass drum or both.
