Monday August 27th

Today during practice i warmed up with the lift stroke excercises again. I then started in with my bass drum warm ups. I'm still hitting my roof at 80 bpm, and its frustrating. However, i've already noticed a difference in my bass drum technique - it doesn't feel lke i'm straining to get stuff out as much - tahts encouraging. After this I went to my interdependence excercises and worked on some of those. Today i was able to add in a hihat splash pattern over top of it all, and it was really exciting. I worked on this a while, then i started playing groove, and just working on my speed around the kit. My hands have come a long way - i'm really starting to get fast around the kit, and more free.
