    I got a new job, I start next month! I have two major projects at my current job, next month, guess who is not doing them?

    Technique:

    [ ] RLRRL 65bpm Scale 8 triplets 16ths 5mins x 2

    I can play this now. The double right is tricky.

    [ ] KRKR 140 5min x2

    I feel like I'm close to being done with this, well see because I might not be coordinated enough to go into the 180-200 bpm range. I don't know how to explain it but 120-140 the leg needs to do more of an ankle stomp whereas 140+ you're using the calf muscle more.

    Brush Groove:

    The click happens on every 1 of every one or two bars.

    [ ] 15 @ 15bpm

    [ ] 15 @ 30bpm

    [ ] 5 @ 20bpm

    [ ] 5 @ 10bpm

    The last two I'll start investing more time into later. Playing the + of 4 is hard on brushes.

    Groove:

    Same thing as brushes but on sticks. The goal is to stay perfectly in time and orchestrate the figures in different ways.

    [ ] 15 bpm w Ted Reed pg 38 20mins

    [ ] 15bpm 2 feel ted reed 10mins

    Transcription:

    On the B section. Nothing hard, just memorizing language, tempo feel.

    [ ] Art Pepper - Imagination AP Chorus 1;28
