Amazing resource in CZcams these are... very useful to catch the play of rhythm in music... thanks a lot for all your videos...

Great one. Breezed through 1-13. Struggled a bit with 14 and had to replay 15 a bit to internalize it.
Some tips/requests, if I may (you probably already have some of these, but I haven't seen them yet): prepare an exercise where you vary how you write pauses. A dotted 8th pause sounds the same as an 8th pause followed by a 16th pause, but we're much more used to one of them. This happened at least once in this video and it almost made me trip. Regardless if it's considered "bad writing", sometimes we have to deal with stuff like this on the fly. The following one is focused exclusively on the snare, but I believe other instruments may find it useful to practice these (while these might not ALL involve pauses, they all sound the same on the snare): a) 4er followed by 8th pause and 8th note, b) 8th note followed by 4er pause and by 8th note, c) dotted 4er followed by 8th note, and finally d) 4er note tied to 8th note followed by 8th note. From the snare perspective they all sound the same, they all happen, but not everyone is familiar with them all. For melodic instrumentalists this also has its advantages: two readings that sound the same in c) and d), but the rhythm in c) and d) is different from the one in a), which itself is different from the one in b). Win-win for everyone. Another one you could do is unusual groupings. For example say we're in 4/4, but an excerpt is intended to sound in 5/8: for said except, group every five 8th notes instead of the usual grouping of two or four 8ths even if it crosses bars. And finally you could keep alternating signatures. 2/2 to 7/8 to 5/16 to 1/1 (lol) to 6/8 to 7/16 to 3/2, etc. Maybe play around with metric modulations such as say you have quintuplets in 4/4 and you're going to 3/4, but four quintuplets from the 4/4 are equal to a quarter in 3/4. Or even simpler stuff: an exercise that alternates between 3/4 and 6/8 all the time, but sometimes 8th = 8th, sometimes 4er = dotted 4er, etc.
