God bless fam... well i was just wondering if anybody has any goals this year as far as improving your craft?

I'll start off, the first thing i want to improve in is my foot, im not talking about just double's but sometimes when i play i notice that i start to fatigue my foot starts to cramp up i dont go as fast,  its horrible... I got much more to... i got a list of things!

I cant think of just one thing.  I want to improve control, coordinance, and technique of my hands and feet.  And I want to improve in musicality and knowledge of the craft.  I think that covers everything.

Thanks Man!.. In school I was the guy who played all the Music by ear! I have never been able to read... I regret that too!... I may be "Good" on the kit but I think Reading will open new doors for my playing.. Feel Me?

strengthening my left hand, endurance with feet, developing mylistening in terms of concentrating on structure i.e. RLLR kk, rather than what things sound like, this helping developing on point licks and fills, and improving speed and endurance around the snare and toms. lol :D quite a few. i can read at a rockschool grade 6 level, so improvingmy reading skills as well.

Man I feel you on that one. It's like, I have these fills, but when trying to apply them in a musical setting, it's hit or miss for me.  :(
