Anika Nilles has <b>two<\/b> go-to exercises she likes to use to get the hands moving before jumping into a recording session or live gig!<\/p>\n<p>The first exercise is made up of 16th and 32nd notes.

This means that when you go to repeat the phrase, you&#8217;ll switch which hand leads! This is a great feature to have in any warm-up routine as it allows you to give both hands equal attention.<\/p>\n<p><b>EXTRA CHALLENGE<\/b>: Try adding in the hi hat by playing quarter notes with your foot!<\/p>\n<p>The second routine Anika uses is similar to the first, however now we&#8217;ll be playing 16th and 32nd note <b>triplets<\/b>!
