The End Is Near

I'm wrapping up the project right now, and I have noticed a lot of progress. At first, I had no idea how to play scrapes. Now, I can play most variations of scrapes if I work on it for sometime. I'm preparing a little variation of double beat followed by an original song.

Sanford Double Beat

Since I started this project, I've been working on the warm up called Sanford Double Beat. I posted a picture of the music for it a week ago also. I've learned it all about 2 weeks ago, but I stopped practicing because I'm working on my audition music more. But I decided that I will continue to work on my project, so I went back to it and i can play it at around 120 bpm. Still not too fast but it's getting there...

Slacking

Lately, I haven't been working hard at learning scrapes. I've been busy learning the audition material for the upcoming indoor drumline season. Although I haven't been working on scrapes specifically, I am continuing to progress. I've noticed it is much easier to play stuff around the drums. I've decided that I will play the Sanford Double Beat during my TED style talk. I'm unsure if I will perform Cinderella Meatgrinder due to time constrictions.

Cinderella Meatgrinder

This week I decided that i will try and learn Cinderella Meatgrinder by Lance Delgado for my final product. I was inspired to do this because last year I witnessed the song for the first time, and now I realize I'm capable of learning it. I've already passed my schedule and I can already play scrapes from the exercise Sanford Double Beat. I'm hoping that I will be able to achieve my goal quicker than expected!
