Accented paradiddles on the toms to practice for next week. 

Rh accents on the floor tom lh accents on the 1st rack tom. 

Also section e of fall out to try and have down for next week. Don't worry too much about the track but be confident with the fills and groove variations.

Really good lesson today Tigan! 

Sitting on the dock of the bay: just warm up with this piece. Try and increase your confidence with the transitions. 

Yeah: really great progress with the 1/4 hi-hat pattern this week. Build up both the speed and number of repetitions gradually over the week. See if you can play the groove from memory after you gave practiced it a little as thus will make it feel secure.

WArm up: use the triplet phrases from last week but now try splitting up the two triplets into pairs of notes around the toms.

Remember these ex's are supposed to develop your technique and coordination to keep this in mind as you practice! 

Lewis 26/11/18

Warm up: trip,was looking much better this week. See if you can just build your confidence plying the exercise for next week. 

Midnight hour: have a go at the first bar with the two crashes in. Keep it slow build the whole bar as a phrase and don't forget that your right hand moves to the ride not the hi-hat! 

Yeah: almost spot on this week. Just the open hi-hat to add for next lesson. 

Jamie 26/11/18

Warm up: 8th notes and 16ths around the drums but now add in the bass drum line we did today in your lesson! 

Another one bites the dust: main groove played well today! Aim for next week us to be able to play at least 8 bars continuously to the track :-) 

Anabelle 26/11/18

Warm with ex 9and 10 below. Start trying to play it around the kit. 

Try using as a drum fill. One bar of groove and then use the exercise as a fill. 

Yeah: the groove at b now needs to be comfortable at a higher tempo! Try just playing 1 bar at speed to start and then build it up! 

Start looking at the first bar if midnight hour for next week! 

Nathaniel 26/11/18

Well done with your GCSE recording! 

Your next challenge is hold the line by Toto. 

You made excellent progress with the intro to this track. See if you can tidy it up for next lesson. 

Start looking at the verse groove. 

Listen to Jeff pocaro on the original song how he gets his tight Driving feel to push the band along!
