Taste if freedom: 

Fill into the Chorus sounding good! 

Use the fill below to start exploring ways of pkaying out of the chorus and in to the bridge but using the horn line as a reference. 

Thursday 13/12/18 8pm

Tech work: group b work in staying relaxed at 90bpm. 

The second sticking needs to be practiced much slower with an emphasis on the correct mechanics. 

Group c triplets and pataflafla's can be played again sets relaxed and tryst the rebound of the stick!

RLrrllRll sticking as a solo idea for lead sheet. 

Thursday 13/12/18 7pm

Tech work: take the 5 stroke sticking. Explore by moving the accents over different voices on the kit also take the right hand fir a walk! 

Have a go at coming up with "hit" on a brat if a bar. Work out a set up (jumping off point) and experiment with voicings. 

Hit me: to the track sounding good. The fills on the furst two pages need a little tidying but overall sound good. Have a go up to section E for next week. 

Thursday 13/12/18 6:30pm

Dark matter: 

8th nioe hi-hat with left foot on first page. Keep the closing of the hi-hat crisp and secure. 

See if you can work in the low rim shot technique as well

Also the snare groove on page three which also has the left foot playing 8th notes underneath. 

Thursday 13/12/18 6pm

Technical work: tech study 3 up to the end of the first time bar to for next week. Doubles are looking much better than previously but stay relaxed (don't practice too fast) 

London Town: excellent progress! Now just lighten the hi-hat a little and try not to let the snare pull you ahead too much. Fill in bar 14 and 20 just need to be 100% secure now 

Thursday 13/12/18 5:30pm

BRL triplet fill ex to practice (as sextuplets) 

Syncopation ex as a single stroke sticking for next week. 

Played around with solo phrase from video.

RRRR LLLL Deb into RLRLRLRL 

Standard: groove at c better this week but still some work into get it first time eveytime.

Section D learned great hi-hat sound this week. 

Smooth: up to D can be played to the track but still not 100% confirm able with the phrases and staying relaxed. Also need to memorise the form/structure 

Thursday 4pm

Taste of freedom: 

Rllrllrll phrase on the ride in the pre chorus. 

Hi hat volume needs to be adjusted to create an even sound and tight feel. 

6:6:6:6 grouping for the fill into the chorus. As singles to start. 

Thursday 06/12/18 5:30pm

Swing time ex needs more practice to drop out the left hand part and bring it back in. 

Sync page 33 ex 7 as groove ex/ fill

Fill in the gaps on the bass drum 

Fill in the gaps on the snare while phrasing over the toms.

First page of smooth to finish fir next week and the line leading into section D. 

Standard is coming together. Again first page to practice. Focus on your control and keeping your bass drums strong and consistent. 

Dub step groove is sounding really great! 

RRRR LLLL around the kit. 

Thursday 6/12/18 4pm

Transitions from the pre chorus into the chorus: listen to the phrase (hits on beat 3 and 4) 

Watch your bass drum pattern in the verse.
