# Drum Groove Exercises

These next exercises give us a chance to develop our drum groove and play four bars of it at two different tempos.

## Exercise 1: 80 beats per minute

- This exercise focuses on establishing a steady groove at 80 BPM.
- Take your time to internalize the counting:
**1, 2, 3, 4.**

## Exercise 2: 100 beats per minute

- This second exercise is quite a bit faster at 100 BPM.
- As you play, be sure to really listen to the counting to maintain the new tempo:
**1, 2, 3, 4.**
