Chapter Two introduces left hand slaps. Exercises are notated for right handed players.
These exercises is to get comfortable playing beat “4” with the left hand. Later on we will play this stroke (on the “4”) as an open tone on our left drum in a three drum set up.
This chapter also adds left hand slaps on the "and" of 4 and the "and" of 3, giving us lots of possibilities for multiple drum tumbao and songo variations.
