This is one demonstration to incorporate an element of melodic voice while drumming.
A very simple way to incorporate melody is adding melody to the recitation of the drum strokes being played in the rhythm combination.
Melody is the best way for me to memorize and embody the rhythm patterns quite quickly especially
when combining more than one pattern.

Then once the pattern is embodied you can substitute
other vocal sounds in place of reciting the drum strokes.

If you can sing it, you can play it.
