Thursday Aug 31th

Today in Lesson me and dave warmed up with the lift stroke, then he began to show me its application on the kit. When he started talking about the whole already being lifted for the next following stroke on the next drum, it all started to click for me in my mind. He taught me the 1-2-3 excercise, whcih at first seemed simple, but it frustrated me when i couldn't get it right away. He assigned Solo #1 out of the Lathem book - I'm now happy that i worked out of that book for a lot of the summer, because im' expecting to recognize a lot of the rhythms and such things.
