Saturday

20 Minutes - See the light. This piece is hard (for me anyway!)

20 Minutes more. Running through the whole piece now.

20 Minutes more seeing the light.

Drums:

20 Minutes.

I Dusted off the practice pad to work on some of Benny Greb's Technique Ideas. I went through the Rhythmic Alphabet playing each 'letter' for four bars at 60 bpm using the following methods:

Singles with accents
Diddles 1
Diddles 2
Single Stroke Doubles
Flams

Flams need to be worked through slower, I'll do the rest quicker next time.

20 Minutes more Benny Greb stuff:

Dynamic Workout @ 40bpm for semiquavers, 60 bpm for triplets (both hands)
Sticking Workout Triplets (Both Hands lead, Both stickings)
Diddles 1 (triplets, both hands lead, voth stickings)

20 Minutes more drums.

Finished off the 'Words' chapter of Benny Greb, including the groove exercises played on a pad (a la David Garibaldi) the is actually a great way to work on drumset stuff as you hear any inconsistencies much easier than you do with the sound of a full kit masking the errors!
