This is going to be a great tabb of many coordination excersizes that will help
 
benifit those on a drum set. Ive gotten these from myself, teachers, and books. The
 notation is similar to that of the book Four Way Coordination. Ill explain

ie)

rh:--------
lh:--------
rf:--------
lf:--------

This will be the "Staff" that will be used

rh: Right Hand
   o: Snare
   x: Ride Cymbol
   f: Flam, Accent w/ right, grace note w/ left (g)
lh: Left Hand
   o: Snare
   x: Hi-Hat
   f: Flam, Accent w/ left, grace ntoe w/ right (g)
rf: Right Foot
   o: Bass Drum
lf: Left Foot 
   o: Bass Drum
   x: Hi hat pedal

(Based on Average Right-Handed Set up)

\\: , :// (repeat marks)

So lets begin w/ a simple one for hands.

3/4
rh: \\:x-x-x-x-x-x-:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:x-x-x-x-x-x-:
lf: \\:o--o--o--o--:x-x-x-x-x-x-:x-x-x-x-x-x-:o--o--o--o--:

rh:   :x---x---x---:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:x---x---x---:// 
lh:   :o--o--o--o--:x---x---x---:x---x---x---:o--o--o--o--://

(Break Down of rhythm)

-Note First 4 measures are 8th notes in one hand while playin duplets w/ the other.
 The hands swith so you can do it w/ both
-Note Last 4 measures are Qtr Notes in one hand along w/ duplets w/ the other. The 
hands swith so you can do it w/ both

Lets try one a little harder

3/4
rh \\:x-x-x-x-x-x-:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:x-x-x-x-x-x-://
lh \\:o--o--o--o--:x-x-x-x-x-x-:x-x-x-x-x-x-:o--o--o--o--://
rf \\:o---o---o---:o---o---o---:------------:------------://
lf \\:------------:------------:o---o---o---:o---o---o---://
           2x           2x          2x            2x

(breakdown)
- ONe hand is doing 8th notes while  the other is doing duplets, and one foot is
 doing Qtr notes.
- these are aall the combinations for that rhytm for independency

Lets try it again but while doing bell hits and open hi hats

(play each measure 2x then repeat the whole thing)

3/4
rh \\:b-x-b-x-b-x-:x-b-x-b-x-b-:b-x-x-b-x-x-:x-x-b-x-x-b-:b-b-x-x-b-b-:x-x-b-b-x-x-:
lh \\:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:
rf \\:o---o---o---:------------:o---o---o---:------------:o---o---o---:------------:

rh :o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--:o--o--o--o--://
lh :0-x-0-x-0-x-:x-0-x-0-x-0-:0-x-x-0-x-x-:x-x-0-x-x-0-:0-0-x-x-0-0-:x-x-0-0-x-x-://
rf :o---o---o---:o---o---o---:o---o---o---:o---o---o---:o---o---o---:o---o---o---://
lf :------------:------------:------------:------------:------------:------------://

(breakdown)
-while keeping the pulse between the bass drum and snare, the hand that is on the
ride is doing bell hits that are on the beat, and off beats, and paired in
 doubles, and the hand on the hi hat, the foot is doing the same.

Now were gunna start w/ a different type of coordination excersize

this one is NOT finished so dont worry about it!!

13/8  (0 - accent)

note - g means GRACE note NOT ghost note., try to keep inner beats under 3 inches
