NOTE: Be sure to achieve Level 4 tempo for Groove Series A-F before moving on to the next lesson. Groove Series G and H have kick drum patterns that may not allow you to reach certain tempos. That’s ok. The purpose is not speed as I said before, but learning it to that tempo will ensure you have worked the material sufficiently. You should keep reviewing the material after you move on until you reach the Level 5 bpm.
