Exercise 2.5 Rests — The Art of Stopping
B · B ·: strike on the downbeat, hold on the off-beat, practicing the "hand hovering 1cm above the face" standby
Tempo: 55-65 BPM
💡 A rest is not "nothing" — it is "standby": the hand hovers 1cm above the striking position, no force, don't pull away. Keep counting in your head; the groove never stops.
B=bass (below center) · S=slap (upper corner) · s=ghost (light touch) · ·=rest (hand hovering above)
