In this ZILDJIAN WORKOUT episode, Sean Knuth covers variations on an exercise that’s been a standard since the 1700’s called “Three Camps.” As one of the oldest and most famous compositions, Three Camps (in the tap-roll variation) was part of the Camp Duty, specifically as the reveille or camp ‘wake up call’. In Sean’s video, you’ll play the accent pattern as an accent/tap “check”, with buzzes, with tap-buzzes and tap rolls.

This exercise is great because it’s not only a physical workout, but a mental one as well!

Grab your sticks and get ready for a workout!
