Left Brain, Right Brain, Whole Brain – Rhythm & Hemispheric Synchronization
Channel: Doug Pickard
Date: 23/02/2020

Using a simple pattern on the drum that involves both your left and right hands utilize hemispheric synchronization, or both sides of the brain (left and right) working at the same time.  The two sides of the brain are connected by the corpus callosum, which transfers information back and forth between left and right hemispheres, allowing the brain to function as a whole unit.  This drill will require you to continually change your dominant hand from left to right in a rhythmic pattern in threes.  This will challenge you  to shift away from your comfort zone of playing patterns with your dominant hand, which offers mental benefits and gives the brain a workout!
