Diary diary, i need to focus.

Tomorrow is my reservice day.

Today was a great service, i felt really high in worship.
Even though Elim often warns us it is not the feeling that counts... but,
I just can't help it.. i felt so high. Glory to God!

I practiced my CAGED system taught by jamie on lead guitar,
I focused first on bends
next on hammer-ons
next on pull-offs
next time i must try the rhythmic variations that i have never heard it done on guitar b4. hahaha. Exciting. 9,9,6. with pauses to breathe.

Ok for my drums,
I did a 24ths withs hand only out of the blue without counting..
i think all the exposure to Dennis chambers is sinking into my head.
and now i think of nothing but funky stuff.
hahaha. Dennis chambers, another turn in my drumming life.
Vinnie colaiuta's wonderfully deep vocabulary of rhythms and tempos aside.. back to catch the feel.

So in army i guess i will be training on pillows.. hope my hands will catch up speed.
and ackward myself when i come back to drums.. i heard the feeling will be like this.
You will feel your hands are moving way too ahead of your limbs.

+Transcribe 2 hillsongs praise to teach Crystal Wang.

Hope she like me as a teacher. Hope i am not too strict on her talent which i think is a waste she didn't start earlier. But soon i am sure she is going to surpass her teacher musically with much practice. Hahaha. Of course this teacher is not easy to surpass in terms of speed and coordination. Till the day when drums is like a part of your voice, you will realise, what is moulding you are God given ears to hear great drum voices by the rhythms that comes from within. And these rhythms comes from an input as well as a processed output and the more input and output, the more vocab you will be able to apply.

4 hours of practice a day keeps limbs entanglements away.

6 hours of practice a day keeps dinner away.

8 hours of practice a day keeps all your friends away.
