9 rounds: 1 minute rounds - 20 seconds rest First couple rounds working only the right hand. Then only the left. Then mixing up combinations. Then footwork. Then putting it all together.
Things to watch for: - Footwork / Angles - Head movement / Head slots - Moving feet while punching / Syncing feet and hands - Common combinations - Punch angles / High to low - Changing levels / Moving head off the centerline - Balance / Fighting off front-foot or back-foot - Doubling-up with same hand: (e.g. LLRRLRLL RRLLRLRR) - Tactics? Cutting off ring, pressure fighting, counter punching etc.
haha yeah man, I'm a drummer too. A lot more similarities between the two activities than most people would think. In terms of rhythm: every beginner boxer has somewhat of a "four on the floor" pop/disco rhythm, in that it's very predictable where the "beat" is coming. Intermediate boxers know how to hit on the offbeat, Similar to a funk or reggae drummer, but still somewhat predictable. More advanced boxers tend to have a varied and unpredictable rhythm similar to a jazz drummer. You have no idea where the beat is coming. Playing with rhythm in boxing is actually much easier to comprehend if you have an understanding of rhythms in drumming. "Ghost notes" are kinda similar to "pitty patty" shots in boxing... "Haymakers" could be likened to "accent notes"... I like to think of my quick "hop in 1-2" as a "flam", where the jab is the "grace note" and the cross is the "accent note"... The coordination you build in drumming among all four limbs can kinda carry over to boxing where you move your feet with punches... And of course LRLL RLRR rudiments can teach you to vary up your punches and punch angles in boxing... I know there's more but that's all I can think of right now lol. Drumming can definitely help a boxer.
Dude, this the realest way to learn. Even if I don't understand at first, I just copy his movements and when I bust this shit out in sparring people think I am creative af. Russ you the man.

When I watch Mr. Lomachenko box, I am transported to a rarified realm, with Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammed Ali, Hector Camacho and Willie Pep...their footwork is so essential and dazzling..all great athletes have great footwork - tennis, Tae-Kwon-Do, LaCrosse, Basketball, Football, every sport ever...My God I love being an elite athlete my entire life, Thanks be to God.
