Vic Firth takes you BEYOND THE LOT with the “DOUBLE BEAT” exercise from the 2021 Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps. In this video, you’ll first see the exercise played at 100% speed with the snares, tenors and bass line together, then we’ll break it down with the notation on the screen – first with snares & basses at 60%, 80% and 100% tempo, and again with tenors!

Go to vicfirth.zildjian.com/education/learn-the-music-blue-stars-double-beat.html to download the full scores of the entire Blue Stars 2021 technique program, then grab your sticks and pad and start practicing!
