initial assessment

On the electric kit i played some improv drum beats and fills. On the electric drums video i use a variety of techniques such as double kick reading drum notations 4 limb coordination and triplets this was recorded using my phone and the drums and plugged into an amp. Next time to make it better i would like to record it through an interface.

i would like to improv my technique have better coordination try get my timing as precise as i can and improv on my improv. I can keep track of my drum progression by recording my drumming and raise the bmp i play rudiments at and jam sessions.

What will I do?

Target 3

S- I will improve my timing

M- I will know when I play with bands and its all in time and while playing with a backing track
