Description

A Step Riff Heel with one extra brush slipped in after the riff. Step onto the right foot, riff the left (a brush and then a dig of the heel), brush the left once more, and finish by dropping the right heel. Five sounds; the opening brush of the riff can also be played as a touch.

Practice Tips

  • The added brush is the sound that usually comes in late. Start thinking about it while you are still riffing, so the foot flows straight out of the dig into the brush.
  • Get Step Riff Heel steady first, then add the brush without letting the final heel drift off its count.
