  • His voice is so soothing!

  • dis shit id whack

  • Wow! Ok. The best way to do an "in time" one pattern is to use the rolling 8. You trace a number eight up and down with very thin loops on the eight while rolling your wrist/baton around the loop and accenting. It allows you to have greater control over the tempo, branch out to any other pattern for emotional passages, and keep the band loose and relaxed. It is difficult master, but worth it. If you have no wrist flexibility, then you have more to worry about than your one pattern.

  • Actually, the decision to beat in one has less to do with the time signature and more to do with the tempo. You can beat in one to express metric groupings of 1(of course), 2, 3, 4, 5 and even 6. The basic question is whether or not you can effectively communicate everything you need to with a single movement phrase. Notice I did not say beat? That's because a "beat" actually requires from 2 to 4 distinct movements.

  • you could, but it would probably end up falling apart because you'd be moving your arm way too slow.

  • lol pretty good, but the one beat can also be used in a slow 3/4 also
