Tech study 2 start working each section up to tempo.
London Town: great progress made this week with creating a clean phrased feel to the grooves and fills. Hold on to this moving forward. See if you can polish the transition from page 1 to page 2.

Time to start using the triplet exercises just on the snare again but now pushing the tempo up to the 150-170 range.
You played the first page of no one knows well this week. The bridge is coming together but now I would like you to start working on playing each section together.

Good to meet you today. Nice work on the chart for smooth from the RS grade 3 book. Re-cap the first fill (listen to the original if you need to).
Have a look at the rest of the sheet and see if anything jumps out you want to go over next lesson.

Practice the swing independence ex's from beyond bop. Use the slow swing track as a backing. Are your time and play with a strong feel fir the 1/4 note.
Also play through the first 4 bars of window seat. Listen to the original and see if you can emulate the swing on the hi-hat and match it with the ghost notes on the share and bass drum.

Work through the phrases from syncopation ex 1-5 around the kit. Aim for strong bass drums and even stickings. 
When this this is comfortable try young each one as a one bar fill. Focus on having an even transition between your bar of groove and your fill.
I Left you with 4 grooves to work on fir next lesson. Overall your reading and dexterity are very good. Start each groove slowly focusing on a really secure sound and feel and this will give you the chance to really to embed each pattern in your coordination.
