Mark's Secret Public Practicing Drums Journal

Since the last time I wrote, I have been practicing pg 6 of Stick Control Lines 47 & 48. I still haven't gotten to 20 count yet but still working on it.

Plus I'm still clapping, tapping 16 notes on my chest, knees, tables, while in the car, kitchen, bedroom, computer room, at work, in the office.

But what I am also learning is I need to work on my endurance and physical well being meaning need to lose weight. Small goals.

AND ONE OF MY SMALL GOALS IS THE ONE THING I HARDLY WORK ON AT ALL OR NONE AT ALL IS YES, THAT'S RIGHT!!! (2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack playing, the kettle drums are thundering, bring in the horns!) I want and need to work on drum tuning. yes (you all gasp!)

The Art of Drum Tuning I will be working on. Working will be me. (Ode to Yoda) Yes, I love beating on my drums but I also want & need to show them love by tuning them. (I can hear my boss and co-workers laughing at me for posting this but I don't care because I have neglected this part drumming for far too, too long.)

Hopefully this will light a fire under my butt. Happy Holidays to you all and to all a good night!
