Using one of the more useful double timing things (the second item on this page of warmups), and changing what we do with bass drum. Reading from pp. 34-45 in Syncopation.
This actually creates a kind of a double time rubadub. The bass drum added on beat 1 is a little random— don't do it if it creates any kind of problem. Like if there's not a cymbal note on 1.
Doing all this systematically while reading full page exercises in Reed is rather difficult— we can give ourselves a pretty wide latitude for errors/inconsistency with that— if you can read p. 38 at a bright tempo with the bass drum part landing somewhere between items 4 and 5, you'll be doing pretty well.
After playing the plain right hand lead version of the book rhythm with hands only, the steps are:
- Do the added 16ths— single Ls = two 16ths / LR, two Ls = LRRL, three Ls = LRRLRL.
- Add bass drum on beat 1.
- Add bass drum to the added RH 16th notes— immediately after the snare drum.
- Add bass drum on any remaining isolated notes of the melody rhythm.
Here, figure it out:

On the second page of the pdf I wrote out how lines 2-3 of the p. 38 exercise will go, with each step.
