16 a.k.a. "ju-roku" TC Part I

Hi!

Welcome to the first Taiko Challenge drill week. This week will be a basic drill and every 7 days for 3 months, I'll alter the drill to create a new challenge, getting more complicated as we go. Let's get started:

Line 1
doko X16

Line 2
don tsuku x8

Loop those 2 at a steady pace with your metronome for 15 minutes without stopping. Try saying the line you're not playing in order to keep the tempo from changing.

Extension:
Grab a practice partner and layer them on top of one another by alternating parts.

See you in 7 days!
