music:
yesterday was a good day for music.i played a long to jazz crimes for like 3 hours. i also started to learn brian blades solo on jazz crimes. in my opinion, this is one of the best drum solos ever. everything a drummer would want to hear is in this solo, and everything a musician would want to hear is in this solo. i have the transcription of it in a modern drummer magazine, so its also a good way to work on reading. i never learn solos note for note, because its extremely boring, at least to me...i wonder if steve would agree. brian blade is definitely in my top 5 favorite drummers, everything he plays is unique and amazing. also for music, i worked on a conga and hi hat part for bright sized life. i really think its starting to come together.
poker:
for poker i started to re read harrington on hold em'. I'm taking notes so hopefully it will help when i play. i didn't do good in tournaments yesterday. finished 3rd, 3rd, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. i definitely think i am getting better at picking out the bad players though, sometimes its easy.
song of the day:
2nd video of the song.
I moved the show to Saturday November 6th, so we've got plenty of time to work on stuff. Is there a day/time that we can get together for about 2 hours each week to practice?
ReplyDeleteAbout learning solos: It's boring for me, but only because it's so hard. I've learned more from transcribing solos than from just about anything else.
hey, thats awesome it gives us so much time to practice. we should really pick some difficult songs, not that we dont have any already. and for practicing, any day.. any time is good for me. do you want to start practicing now? or later in the month?
