High-low shower

A high-low shower is a variation of the shower pattern where the throwing hand alternates making higher throws and lower throws, so that each low throw is caught before the previous high throw.

===Siteswap exercises===
You can use these exercises to practice the same kinds of throws and sequences of throws that are done in high-low shower patterns, before you learn the full pattern.
Some of the siteswaps listed below are shortened to leave out parts where you’re not doing anything. Click on them to see animations of the exercises.
You should practice doing these starting with your right hand and with your left hand, so that you will be able to do the pattern on either side.
