Examples a through e use this same rhythm for the drum, but varying ideas from the jingles. Practice each one over and over for awhile before moving to the next pattern.
in (a) all the sixteenth notes are filled in and played, with our fingers alternating left-right:listen
in (b) the jingle is played by the left hand on the upbeats:listen
In (c) the jingle is played by the left hand on the last two sixteenths of each beat:listen
In (d) the jingles are activated by shaking the tamborine back and forth (think of the egg shaker): listen
In (e) we are superimposing the side to side (left to right rotation) triplet over top of the Belladi rhythm. This is difficult, and requires that you master the triplet without the drum notes first: listen
