Re: Foot timing
For guitarists:
1 e + a 2 e + a
D U D U D U D U
D = down stroke
U = up stroke
So if you practice entering at any of the subdivisions it helps to
silently do the down/up strokes before actually entering. Or play
them as ghost notes.
A fun (mental) exercise is also to practice every rhythm starting
with an upstroke instead of a downstroke, i.e.
1 e + a 2 e + a
U D U D U D U D
I'm not a drummer, but I sometimes do the same exercises with left/
right hand instead of down/up stroke. Or I take a drumming exercise
and replace L, R by U, D...
