[practice] More Fun With Accents

Okay, I just stumbled across another good progressive accent warmup. I'm constantly looking for single-hand accent patterns, typically with multiple accents in a row, because the whole physiological aspect of, say, hitting two accents followed by two normal strokes seems vastly different than alternating between accented and unaccented strokes.

Anyway, to that end, try this on for size:

RrRR rrRR Rrrr RRRR rrrr RRRr rrRR rrRr

and then the same thing with the left. You could probably alternate one rep with the right and one with the left. I had picked this up as an exercise for alternating strokes from a Tommy Igoe clinic, but I suspect it'll work well for the accents as well.
