kicking rudiments

I've been learning how to play the drum kit. In addition to just trying to keep a simple groove, I started working on the most basic of rudiments exercises I've been finding on the web.

After doing this straight eighth note pattern for a while between my two sticks on the snare, I figured it would be good for me to do the same thing with my feet on the kick pedals.

Within a few minutes at just 80 bpm, I was incredibly sore. I guess I've got a long way to go before I can play The Black Page...even the easy teenage New York version. ;-)
