The number 10 means completion; nothing lacking. So this year i want to propose a challenge to the ones who would be interested(mainly the ones who've been slacking). I stated what the number 10 means so I want to you to work harder and achieve some goals that you have or had and gave up on them due to frustration or negativity. If you have given up, pick your dreams back up! Dont let ppl put you down or let ignorance stop you. Even if you have to do it slowly. Practice, practice, practice! No let me rephrase lol....Practice the right way! You can do what you want but here's my basic list of things to practice:
1. Warm Up
2. Hand Work
3. Foot Work
4. Coordination and Independence
5. Rudiments(on snare and around the kit)/Fills
6. Grooves
7. Songs
8. W/ band.
9. Not playing at all. LISTENING. To other playing and going places and be a sponge.
Like I said thats my basic list you can fit what you want about how and what to do into the categories yourself. And most importantly, with a metronome. I dont believe people practice right no matter what they if its not with a metronome or to a cd or something of the sort. Very, very, important. Now the last thing is if you havent got a gig befor, then get atleast one before the year is over. That shouldnt be hard at all if you work hard physically on the drums and feed your brain with knowledge(of the craft, on networking, etc). LGM if full of treasures so put that search button to work. I just want to see ppl progress and do big things i have a big heart. So if this peeks your interest(for the ones who are hungry) let's work together. Progress Peace fam.
