It’s been fun meeting new people via Twitter over the past month and we’ve met a lot of bass drummers. For all of you who are marching bass, this month’s free pdf drumline exercise is for you.

Here’s a simple marching bass drum exercise. The focus of the exercises is to develop subdivision quality of 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s either as a solo player or in tandem with a friend. Simple exercises for simple improvements.
