In this first of 4 episodes on Accent Patterns, Rick uses a pattern from page 27 of his book, Slow It Down, Break It Down. This is the beginning of working with the pattern, and will move to the snare drum, then the full drum set by video number 4.
Here Rick starts with the basics from the top of page 27 of his book Slow It Down, Break It Down, and then adds flavor with simple changes to the kick drum and high hat.The accents from the righthand side of the page are also transferred from the snare to the toms.
