Warm up lesson 10: 

Pick and exercise. Play the entire line 6-8 times at 130bpm focusing on keep your grip as good as you can (watch your thumbs especially)and the sticking bouncing up towards you off the drum. 

Repeat with 2 more exercises.

Spark the flame: intro fill looking much better this week. As you practice slowly make sure your left hand doesn't tense up and anticipate the stroke. 

Groove at C needs the same kind if aproach. Stay relaxed and tryst your left hand! Even doubles with a light airy feel is the goal!

Warm up: 

Ex 14 and 15 as fills around the kit. 

Continue working on I want to break free. When you okay a little quieter your timing is much better! 

Start practicing the groove to "yeah" by usher from thus lesson

Excellent lesson this week. 

Your focus for this week will be the instrumental section of come together on the second page. 

Be sure to cover the transition into the section as well as the fills that occur through out. 

I have emailed the track and chart to Mrs glover for your recording tomorrow.

Flam accent : better this week. Remember to adjust your right hand position so your wrist is not being pulled inwards towards you. Thus allows your thumb and index finger more relaxed support of the stick. 

Spark the flame: intro much better. Technical head room is the aim of the game here. Use the exercise below to develop your signed stroke fills. 

See if you can work the entire intro to the tack for next week.

Great work this week well done. 

Practice the first part of come together. Focus on a clean transition from each different groove. 

Archie 18/10/18

This week focus on the intro fill for knock on wood. Take care counting. Check the video in your phone if you need reminding! 

Well done this week Archie. 

Lewis 18/10/18

Warm up this week with the first fill below. Count carefully and see if you can play it a little faster each time! 

Another one bites the dust: practice the fills below. Your reading and playing were really good this week. Just take care when you practice the transitions that you start slowly and keep counting to start with.
