Quintuplet Patterns

Here are a handful of quintuplet patterns (five notes per beat) that I've been playing around with for the last few weeks. 

Try playing the exercises with an accent on the beat as well as without. Both will be useful on the kit. 

As always, I recommend practicing to a metronome. If you haven't played quintuplets before they will sound strange at first. Practicing with a metronome will help you keep track of the beat.

To develop the exercises further try playing them around the kit or try reinterpreting them as 16th notes.
