Here is another Alan Dawson variation on the Ted Reed Syncopation book, courtesy of a new friend and great drummer Jason Harnell. I've been looking for some more bass drum centered exercises to add to my study regimen. This variation really encourages maintaining a neutral position on the foot pedal. You'll know when you get there when you hear all of the voices as one line. Like all of Alan's variations, it just takes a little time to get the sound of the line in your ears and then your body does all the rest.
