The structure builds layer by layer: the first repetition emphasizes clean, open flams, while the second adds drags and hybrid applications.
Throughout, performers must maintain precision in grace-note placement and avoid “crushed” flams. The exercise also incorporates intermittent changes in time signatures, forcing performers to stay mentally flexible and adjust phrasing on the fly. Because of its endurance demands, shifting meters, and rhythmic variety, this warmup doubles as both a technique builder and performance etude, pushing players to master clarity, ensemble timing, and sound quality under pressure.
