Add some cool flash to your playing with this quick trick! The key to learning this quickly is to start SLOW and get the mechanics of the flip/toss correct. Just be patient and once you get comfortable with the sticks it's a lot easier than it seems.

Triple Beat is simple the double beat exercise with one more tap added. You can also combine the warmups alternating between the two. I like triple beat because it sounds really cool as a hi-hat pattern. Play around and have some fun with it.

Dogs is a warm up exercise passed down throughout many drumlines across the nation. I first learned this in "92" from Todd Hall (drummer for Edwin McCain) while in the marching band. Although it has many different names and variations Dogs is a great tap accent exercise to break up the monotany of 8 on a hand.

Ok, so Korn didn't invent this drumlick but Dave Silveria was a huge influence of mine and he was the first drummer to bring it to my attention. Sounds just like the infamous "In the Air Tonight" fill, you're just adding diddles on your bass drum to fill in the rests.

4's and 3's was taught by Steve Hall of Marshall University. A cool warmup that he enjoyed watching us struggle to march to...but we did it. Another tap accent exercise based on a 16th note pattern, there is actually another version with grace notes and flams which we'll cover later.
