Vater Speed Chart by Mike Johnston
Most drummers have a desire to become faster around the drum set but lack the strict regime and structure to achieve their speed goals. This poster will help you to focus on specific speed building exercises for both your hands and your feet. The main purpose of this poser is to give you chart so that you can keep track of your progress.
Go through this chart once a week and circle your speed for each exercise. you will be surprised how quickly your speed increases once you put yourself on a strict speed building workout such as this. even though your speed will be increasing at a rapid pace be aware that you will hit plateuas on all of these exercises.
Don't be alarmed, keep practicing and over time you will be able to push through those speed plateaus. Directions: set your metronome at 60 bpm. Play each exercise four times through before moving on to the next tempo. - Mike Johnston
