Averticals 7/6 is a short, focused 4-mallet exercise designed to build left-hand accuracy, double vertical control, and comfort with shifting odd-time groupings—all within a single-page workout.
The exercise alternates between 7/8 and 6/8 time signatures, keeping both your hands and your brain engaged.
Each measure challenges players to control rebound, manage tight intervals, and plan ahead—changing spacing on the fly while maintaining clarity and tone.
Every double vertical stroke should be precise, even, and relaxed.
The exercise is structured to encourage efficient movement, subtle rotation, and intentional placement.
Playing “just off-center” on each key reinforces real-world accuracy while minimizing unwanted overtone buildup.
