Your wrong tho his name had the word booty in it
Its really frustrating that a lot of the worst shit in our lives is waved away with "someone else did it" or "it has always been this way" okay so then just fucking die if this is life, why be like this we need to evolve past this dumb shit
Imo, theres like one or two notably good Japanese fusion bands. Casiopeia is great but their good stuff is pretty small. Theres a ton of forgettable straightahead JP jazz. there being a meaningful distinction between American and Japanese jazz is just the soyjak meme where he gets excited about the same thing buts its Japan.
Also, kinda racist and ignorant to say American jazz is dour and bitter, like theres so much of it out there. Whats bitter or dour about Billy Boy? Is Weather Report bitter?
What if u just reject the premise entirely
Maybe the trolley thing doesnt make sense and seeing things in that way is why things are that way
why the fuck wouldnt they thailand is right fucking there
There's another hurdle that i can't really speak about that may throw this all in the trash. Pray for me
I talked to the manager of a job I want and they asked me to send in a resume. Please god, i want out of this current job. I hate the people i work with
Its okay if it all ends, the planet will be fine without us.
it doesnt run on sun energy it runs on muslim people in xinjiang actually!!!
Mokey Drum:
Technique
Ankle Technique, I can do the ankle technique with my left foot from 210 down to 130BPM. I might have to spend extra time getting 100-120. The technique changes at that tempo and becomes very closed. After I get this down I'm going to move away from feet technique and focus more on learning songs, listening and transcriptions. I do about 15 mins a day on this.
French Grip Left Hand Stone Killers on a Moongel Pad. Just trying to get my hands stronger and more resilient. 75BPM for 10 mins.
Trad Grip Left Hand Stone Killers on a Moongel Pad. 75 BPM for two sets of 2.5 mins. The wrist rotation motion is not meant to go fast clearly but I need to build the muscles up more.
Brush Technique
I said I was going to work on this for awhile now and i'm finally getting to it, my teacher showed me his system and I'm very pleased with it. One thing i noticed is that in your left hand, you obviously have to comp with it while still keeping the circle going and the goal should be: extremely smooth circle and as little gap between the slap comping sound and the continuous swishing motion. I spend about 20 minutes on this a day.
Microtiming
So there's macro time which is keeping big portions of time consistent and then there's microtime which is keeping your subdivisions consistent, I've never really worked on it and it shows. god, there's so much to work on.
Click on quarter notes, no swing beat, play directly on the beat I do 6 sets of 2.5 mins. Comp on snare drum on beat 3, + of 3, ah of 3, 4, so on. 80 BPM.
Click on middle triplet Just play ideas over it and try to flow over it. 100BPM 10 mins
Click on last triplet Play ideas over it, try to flow over it. Doing a lot of KKLLKKLLKKLL and LKLLKLKKLKLL 130BPM 10 mins.
Click on upbeat sixteenth notes 140 BPM. Playing grooves and fills and trying to keep it all in the pocket. I felt like keeping sixteenth notes on hihat felt good so I'm working on just doing 8th notes on the hi hat now.
