Building The Blushda
By: Adam Tuminaro
The Blushda's name comes from the way it sounds. Using a combination of rudiments, we will explore how the
Blushda can turn a simple fill into a complex flurry of doom. The first four exercises are the fundamental "skeletons"
of some Blushda fill patterns, as well as their "completed" versions. We will finish the lesson with two exercises that
will aid you with some unique challenges the Blushda presents.
Use with caution. This fill is considered highly aggresive.
