Thursday

Drums:

45 Minutes 3/4 comping using a mixture of John Riley material and improvised ideas. I'm doing this to address a slightly weak area and prepare for one or two of the tunes I hope to be playing in one of my new projects.

30 Minutes Bill Bachman Double Strokes & Alan Dawson Rudimental Ritual

Piano:

15 Minutes working on the last 3 Grade 3 scales.

15 Minutes Bergonzi Lady Duck using the 3 permutations - 4 choruses of each one at 60bpm. Its hard work but I can feel myself getting better as I play through the piece in this way.

15 Minutes Neat Feet working from 60bpm to 100bpm (somewhat sketchily!)
