Quintuplets are a somewhat complex figure, in the first place because they are
not common in our western culture and you are unlikely to hear this type of
rhythmic figure in popular music (on radio, TV, etc.). However, this does not
mean that you should ignore them, since mastering this type of figure will help
you to grasp other figures better and will make it easier to understand bars of
odd times and polyrhythms. Always recite eighth note triplets to control their
location in the beat and the bar and place your strokes accurately (with confidence),
and listen constantly to the metronome so that you do not lose the beat.
quarter note = 50-60 In this exercise speed is secondary to what you really need to accomplish here. Do not worry about having to play at very slow speeds; it is more important that at this speed you can assimilate the exercise properly, and then go on to speed up by 5-point intervals on the metronome until you reach your limit.
