Hello! Sorry i haven't been updating much, but that DOESN'T mean i haven't been practicing. :p
Just a quick update on what i've been doing recently since the last post:
I had to show my first practice routine to the class, and for the solo piece, i drummed to a song called "Fudepen Ballpoint pen" LOL. yes. I drummed to it before, but i felt that i improved la. Tim R told me i should go buy a drumset to practice. But my parents don't really allow cause got no space. So im still stick with my drum pad + Compact drums. :( but it's still fine! I can prctice with the school/studio's drumset so everything's still alright.
Then next is for the record label. Qingle asked me to session for billy for drums during one of the record label sessions. It was rather last minute so i only had one and a half day to learn the song, but i was familiar with it, so it's fine! haha. I asked billy to teach me as well. Actually i think billy is an awesome teacher. haha. When i was jamming with the rest of the musicians, it felt rather cool. Like, although it was stressful because it seemed like everyone's so good. But from that session i realised that i need to have DYNAMICS when i drum. Means i need to have a wider control. Brandon was listening to me drum at that time and that was his comments. I appreciate that because i could have never been able to tell if i was sitting at the drummer's seat. Haha.
Okay then so far the major things are just those 2. haha. I'm going to have yet another last minute performance this friday so i hope that it'll be alright, since it's so last minute we didn't even have time to jam. haha. but im sure it'll all work out if my band members practice! Haha. I'll DEFINITELY practice, so it's fine. HAHA
Anyway this post is supposed to be about my new practice routine. Last time i was drilling on the basics of drumming, like the strokes. This time, i decided to focus on one part, mainly the semiquavers, on the hihat. Below shows my practice routine. Everything is sort of explained in the video. :D
The video is abit out of sync at some parts though. :x no idea whyyy..
Enjoyy!
