## Next Exercise: Tempo and Rhythm Variation
Okay, so in the next exercise, we have a tempo of **85 beats per minute** and we're varying what we're playing.
### Key Elements to Focus On:
- **Quarter Note Bass Drums**
- **Half Note Rests**
### Counting Instructions:
Keep your counting going to help you:
1. **Count:** 1, 2, 3, 4
Remember, because the click drops out at the end of the line, just be really careful.
### Important Reminder:
It's not a bad thing; it's really good for us to get used to counting through so that we're not depending on the click being there on the metronome.
### Take Charge:
So, we're our own boss with the counting and we can confidently come in on **beat one of the repeat**.
