Another notebook item from the later 80s, as I get my act together following recent personal developments. Cleaning out my mom's basement, I found a bunch of my old notebooks and music materials.
Basically, I've been doing all this for a long time— here's a page summarizing my snare drum practice circa 1987:
My instructions to myself:
- Play from both Stone books [Stick Control and Accents & Rebounds]
- Slow down the things that are causing tension— don't play faster than you can [play] relaxed— but push yourself— don't play the same d*mn speed for six months.
- Cover as much material from the books as possible. [I'm not sure what books I meant, other than Stone— in my lessons I was working from Goldenberg, Cirone, Delecluse]
Identifying those rudiments by column, we have:
Paradiddles
Flamadiddles
