EZ Hemiola Funk beats with RLB

Just an easy page of hemiola funk-type beats including the RLB pattern as a fill, that I wrote for my students, who have been having a lot of fun with this series.

Write in the stickings if necessary. I usually have my students count the rhythm before playing a pattern. On the fill portion, with the RLB pattern, start by playing just the snare drum and high tom, then move the right hand to other drums, then move both hands around the drums— either both on the same drum, or on different drums.
