Hitting And Dimestops: A cheap guide on how to practice them for everyone!
Alright, so it's 2AM and I'm about to go to bed, but I decided to write this guide on how I practice my Hits and Dimestops.
anybody from someone who just learned how to Hit/Dimestop can practice this, to a national popping champion.

what you'll need
1)Metronome
2)your body
You can get a metronome on your smart phone.If you have one, just search metronome on the app store. As long as it has adaptable tempo's, then you're all set!
if you don't have a metronome, you can go here for a free alternative on the computer
Now what do I do?
Alright, so you've turned on your metronome, and you press play. Hopefully, you guys play/have tried to play a instrument (I've been playing Clarinet for 4 years) so knowing how to operate one should not be so difficult.
The rule is, every Click=1 Dimestop/1 Hit (the click is the noise the metronome makes)
you can use any part of the body, as long as you dimestop/hit.
What's great about using a metronome is that you can change the tempo, so you can focus on slow dimestops/hits to clean them, or speed it up to make them faster and challenge yourself.
It's quite late and i'll edit stuff in the morning
Tell me what you guys think!
