Eights Tempo Ladder

Description:

Eight on a hand where each rep changes tempo as follows:
+20 bpm, -10 bpm, +20 bpm, -10 bpm, etc...
This will improve your ability to quickly lock in new tempos.

1. eights-120, 1 reps
2. eights-140, 1 reps
3. eights-130, 1 reps
4. eights-150, 1 reps

Also, I made two additional variations with larger tempo step sizes than the above routine:
Eights Tempo Ladder medium steps
Eights Tempo Ladder big steps

try doing at least 2 reps of each if not more. it is a good idea to know the basic tempos pretty much by heart. the more reps, the better off. i hate playing 8's but it makes me better. also make sure to do all different heights. maybe 1 rep of every height with every tempo.
