Eighth-note ghost engine

How to play it

1. 1Play continuous eighth-note ghosts at 65, strictly alternating right and left. The click marks the beat and you play two taps per click.
2. 2Say it out loud: one and two and three and four and. The numbers land with the click.
3. 3Keep the motions small, fingers barely leaving the plate, both hands at the same height.
4. 4Match the two hands in volume. Your take will tell you if one of them limps.
5. 5Record about 60 seconds.

Listen forEven eighth notes at a steady tempo with balanced volume between the hands and no galloping.

Record a take

I start the click at 65 BPM, count one bar, and stop after about 60s. Phone about a metre away, facing the front plate. You get my notes within a minute of sending it.
