I'm trying to find a very old article from Modern Drummer magazine. It's by Casey Scheurell and it's titled Acceleration Warm Up.
It shows all the normal subdivisions of notes in 4/4. You play a whole note, half note, half note triplets, quarter note, quarter note triplets, 8th notes, 8th note triplets, 16th notes, then 5 16th notes per quarter note, then 16th note triplets, 7 16th notes per quarter note, and end with 32nd notes.
It's not complicated. I just want it because it's professionally notated and I can show it to my students. I have it some where but I'd rather not have to look through 20+ years of MD magazines to find it.
If anyone can post it here thanks.

That would be easy to make in any given notation software, many of which are free, and would look far better then a scanned image. Take your pick from below.

Thanks, that's almost it. I'll save your version and go through my magazines tomorrow. Maybe I'll download Noteflight again and give it a try. It's nice for students to be able to hear the notation. It seemed buggy/difficult to deal with last time I tried it so I deleted it from my computer.
Thanks again.

nothing to download, it's all 'in the cloud' these days.
I put in some accents to ... cuz I thought it sounded better. that half-note triplet really threw me on first play back for some reason.

I never worked on 7:4 or 7:2 at all. Got 5 pretty well internalized though.
That's a cool site. thanks for sharing!

for whatever reason, when I write stuff out ; I tend to experiment with note values and stickings. For example, somewhere I wrote down an exercise where you play 4 quintuplets in a row, but the sticking and accents are the normal paradiddle sticking. You see God. After the smoke clears, you realize that accenting every 4th note of a quintuplet will give you something like 5:4, while you're playing 5:1 at the same time! I'll write it out.
last measure
