All right hand sticking on this exersize will be on the floor tom only. 
The left hand will be drawing an invisable box formation on your drums. 
Starting on the right tom it will move to the floor tom to the snare on 2 then on the left tom.
Then it will hit the right tom on 3 then the left tom then the snare on 4 and the floor tom on the last L of the exersize.
Start over and count until you go so fast your counting can't keep up.
