Day 8
Anyone foolish or bored enough to read this site two days in a row knows that yesterday I worked on tossing sixteen notes into the existing rock beat.
i.e.: 1 e and – 2 – and – 3 e and – 4 – and -
Today I intend to continue that practice, and hopefully finish up the videos (8 and 9).
Today I plan to:
- Watching Lessons 8,9 of MikesLessons – Beginners Pack
- Continue Drum Roll practices (mostly during TV etc)
- Rhythmic Scale and Rock Beat variations
Day 7 Details
- Tool: MikesLessons.com – Beginners Pack, video 8
- Cost: 14.95 (9 Lessons)
- Time 2 hours

Day 7 Summary
Wifey was working late tonight so I got a solid 2 hours of uninterrupted practice. I got better (i think) with what I struggled so much with yesterday, and played with some fun fills.
Unfortunately videos 8 and 9 seem to be filler, some terminology and teasers for the live lessons. SO I spent all the time recapping some of his previous videos, and just trying to feel some groove on the drum set. I almost got something going a few times (of course not while I was taping, grr) but as soon as I though “hey that sounds decent..” kathump, I would drop a beat, or double drum or make some other silly mistake and completely lose whatever i had.
- 1/16 notes in an 1/8 note count
- Kick drum variations
- Fills (including some fast “buzz” fills)
