Drums practice records

James' sharing:
Practice session. Focus one element at a time. Ok. 16ths, doubles, crashes, open hi hats.
1. groove, start with something simple. Then add on new ideas. Expand and expand, when you find something nice, practice it.
2. Get a pattern 'A' then move to pattern 'B'.
3. Summarize and write down.

Practice session:
1) Focused on
- 16th notes
- crashes
- bass doubles
- 6,6,6,6,8 in 32nds
- RH, kick (32nds at 100bpm)

Learning pt:
1) 16th notes.. syncopation + different rhythms. applied to snare and bass.
2) off beat crashes
3) add double before 1, 2 , 3 or 4.. or any combination to prepare to go into
32nds fills.
4) snare floor tom.. 1 & 2 & (3)rlrlkk rlk rL(4) Crash
5) hand foot 100bpm 32nds (use the right extreme side of the sole to do off beats.. and use french grip on the on beat hand.. the nerves seems more agile at this way of holding)
6) jazz rhythm.. 3,3,2 counting the hi hat.. and bass on the 2 of every 1 & 2 &

summarized...

I will be using the last few breaths of my youth to push the limit. I know when i reach 30.. it will never be the same again.

God thank you for growing my nerves at this speed which i see is incredible for a 22 years old. Thank you so much!
