The great thing about these rudiments, or practice exercises, is that you don’t need a drum kit, or even a snare drum - you can play them on a practice pad. A practice pad is ideal if you haven’t yet got any drums, or if noise is a problem.
Remember, control not speed, it’s better to play slower in time than to play quickly out of time.
Try starting your practices at around about 60 beats per minute. I find that much slower than that and it’s hard to keep in time.
Try accenting (making slightly louder) the first stroke in a group of notes, this sounds more ‘musical'.
