642 is a symmetrical 4 object siteswap where none of the throws cross. The throws alternate between high throws (6s) and low throws (4s). The high throws should be almost three times as high as the low throws. The throwing rhythm is right-left-pause-left-right-pause... with a 1-beat pause (a 2) between throws with the same hand. When the pattern is done with the right heights and a good even rhythm, the 6 and the 4 peak at the same time. All the 6s are done with the same two objects, and all the 4s are done with the other two objects.
Before learning this pattern, you should already be good at 423, 612, 6420 (starting from both sides), 552, and 6424 (starting from both sides).
