They have their own standards.

Berets if i can recall correctly, you CAN wet them and shave them with a razor to be more droopy but it honestly doesnt matter. Its just a stupid hat at the end of the day.

Late 1990s fashion had some scent of futurism that I think the latest generation has somehow latched onto and I think the reason for that is that planet is dying and we are the last generation to ever know this kind of life. If you were to write fiction that was about the end of the world it should look exactly like this, the world around you is dying, the people in charge are regularly making the wrong decisions well into the point of no return, forward thinking culture is largely impenetrable and people rely on the past to feel some sort of belonging. This is the end of the world and what it looks like.

mokey drum practice

Rebound and rolls:

[v] Four full strokes and then drop the stick, keep hand shape and looseness, let it bounce. 140-145bpm. I think I'm gonna keep doing this until I hit 200BPM.

[v] Four Full Strokes, let it bounce only three times. 140-145. 10 Minutes. 150 feels like a good point to stop and move to four bounces.

Foot technique:

[v] Spring off, heel down. I think I'm not using the rebound enough on my left foot. 8th notes at 85-100 bpm range.

[v] Heel down 50BPM. At this tempo I can use good technique and keep it consistent. I'm also getting some muscle burn in areas I think I'm missing.

[v] Full leg. 140-150. I'm about max out here, maybe work on heel toe.

[v] Ankle 165-150 going down. Yesterday I crushed 155 but struggled with 165 and 150. Cant wait til i have this all down.

Groove Studies: [v] Jazz ride with Bass Drum. I've been working on my two beat feel as well, quiet upstrokes on 2+4. I'm focusing on shuffle pattern, + ah and just the + of the triplets this week.

[v] Rhythm Scale using Benny Greb app 6p bpms. 10 mins. [v] Benny Quarter note trips 5 mins 2 measure rest [v] Benny Quarter notes 5 mins 2 measure rest [v] Benny sextuplets 5 mins 2 measure rest

Too lazy to write it all out, I went back and made sure I could play these rhythms cleaning with the click in constantly and with every other measure dropping out. Now I'm trying to get 2 measures, after I get that good enough I'm going to drop the tempo down to 50. Goal is 30 BPM, clean rhythmic scale with the metronome playing for one bar and out for two.
