Flip Flop By Michael Beauclerc

“Flip Flop” is a classic or “old school” style single stroke exercise. The sticking (rights and lefts) are alternating throughout the entirety of the exercise. Due to the transition from measure ten to eleven, the end of the exercise feels like a long single stroke roll beginning on the left hand. The cymbals have split (two part) patterns and a unison final note. The Tenor drummers may begin learning the exercise on drum 2 only, and move to the other drums after the rhythm and stickings are OK. Each exercise comes with a PDF download and YouTube link for play-a-long videos for snare and tenor.
