The Pow! Game

   

5th beat - different speeds

Again, your task is to say "Pow!!" on beat 5. These examples are at different speeds.

Remember, you're not waiting for the beat - you're trying to coincide with it exactly..

(Faster:)

(Slower:)

The slower example is the more difficult - you can lose the time waiting for the next beat. For some reason we find faster rhythms more natural and easier to feel.

Therefore one good approach is to mentally sub-divide the slow beats. Taking the last example, we could imagime two beats for every single beat:

Or even four beats for every one:

You may not find this necessary yet, but it'll help when we try to hit beats later than 5
