Here is a simple 6 beat exercise.This pattern is used in every culture in the world. It is part of the African Rhumba, Cuban Quanquanco, American Blues and Jazz, Indonesian Kechak, just to name a few. Get familiar with playing this in the Americanized form where the downbeat is played in the middle of the drumhead, and it becomes a rock n roll beat.

[…] “The first day of the festival began with an early morning yoga session near the still warm bonfire. By 10 AM a large group gathered to participate in a drum session given by exquisitely intuitive drum facilitator Buddy Helm. His website talks alot about the theraputic aspects of drumming. At a time when bookshelves are full of a limitless variety of cheesy, self-help programs, I’m automatically skeptical of all claims. But with Helm’s, I was pulled emotionally into the circle as he riffed, evoking melodies from the Sound of Music soundtrack and connecting them with the music of Jim Morrison and the Rolling Stones.
