Practice each measure individually, then play them as follows:
Two or four times each:
1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4... 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 5... 3, 4, 3, 5, 3, 6... etc
Two-pattern sequences, one measure of each, repeated 2-4 times:
1-2, 1-3, 1-4... 2-3, 2-4, 2-5... 3-4, 3-5, 3-6...
Note that the sixtuplet patterns will reverse stickings on the repeat, which will make some interesting things happen when you get to the sequences. You can of course add variations to include accents on the doubles; I just wanted to keep it to a manageable size.

Todd congratulations. Fantastic exercise. One question. We play 1-2,1-3,1-4,....and we play follows two-patterns 1-13,1-14,1-15 etc.. We play the sixteenths with the sixtuplets? Thanks
Hey, Armando-- Right, when you combine patterns 1-12 with 13-24, you'll play two beats of 16th notes and two beats of sixtuplets.
BUT: You could make a measure of 5/4 with those combinations, by just playing exercises 13-24 as 16th notes in 6/8-- so the 16th notes are the same speed as the ones in #1-12. In fact, I think I'll practice that tonight...
