STICKING BREAKDOWN ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
It’s easy to get lost… but when you practice groupings, you gotta keep track of where you are. Here I’m trading 4 bars of time and using the “blushda” sticking against groups of 3, 5 and 7…

The Blushda is… a Flam followed by a drag (or ruff) to the same hand… ||: rL rrL :||

For the group of 3… I’m playing the pattern in it’s most common iteration…
1. 2. 3.

For the group of 5… I’m playing the pattern but adding two extra taps…
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

For the group of 7… I’m playing the pattern but adding 4 extra taps…
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

…give it a try and let me know how you did in the comments.
