Combo 3: Exploring Long Phrasing (1+2+3+) to (7+1+2+) in 7/8
This lesson focuses on developing long phrasing and control in 7/8 by combining quarter notes with extended 8th-note stickings. You’ll explore phrases ranging from (1+2+3+) to (7+1+2+), cycling through the full bar with smooth, flowing variations that challenge your timing, feel, and creativity.
Part of my Balkan folk drumming series on drum kit and Tapan, this combo dives deeper into the art of odd-time grooves—from traditional roots to modern live performance.
Each lesson includes:
• ✅ PDF notation
• ✅ Slow and up-tempo video demonstrations
• ✅ Bonus: How to apply the groove in a live setting
Ideal for intermediate to advanced drummers looking to expand their vocabulary, develop precision, and add more musical phrasing to their 7/8 playing.
