This lesson goes back three lessons, to an orchestration idea for cascara. Please take a moment to review those previous lessons by using the lesson archive, Cascara Applications #1 and #2. and #3.

As you can see, this a septuplet or seven note phrase. I pulled this phrase out from the cascara application in the previous lesson.

In the first exercise we're playing three 7 note phrases and one triplet. When practicing this, you may want to keep the hi hat playing on 2 and 4, or all 4 quarter notes.

In the second exercise, we're performing true septuplets, 4 of them in the bar of common time.

ENJOY!
