The fills also need improvement and need to be a lot tighter. I will do this by practice my fills beats and coming in with a metronome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The groove and feel could also be improved just making it tighter and better dynamics on the ghost notes and drags. I also need to stop speeding it up on the chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>technique has some issues such as fills, and making sure to keep a steady tempo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>coordination and independence was good still developing independence tho. This song doesn&#8217;t have much independence except a 2nd kick in an awkward spot of the beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamics needs improvement I need to learn when to play really quite and when to play louder as well as making it sound natural not just going from quite to loud I want it to sound more natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fills and transitions need improvement sometimes my fills speed up sounds awkward. I could also improve the dynamics to them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>stylistic accuracy I have an idea on the style but I think I could do a better job at achieving it. I did have to change the beat a little bit because of all the awkward snare placements Chad Smith uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage presence Im mainly just looking at my drums and what im doing unless i look at band members or forward for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chelsea dagger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timing and tempo, I could definitely do with improving the fills in this song as I think that&#8217;s the main thing that throws me off. I also messed up some parts like playing my fill a beat late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Groove and feel could be improved especially on the ride section I think I need to get the timing a lot tighter as well as the dynamic on the double snare hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coordiantion and independence was okay it could&#8217;ve been better mainly with the fills and ride section I feel like it&#8217;s lacking the most , I think the part that takes the most coordination and independence is the bridge that wasn&#8217;t too bad this performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamics could be a lot better to give support the sound of the song more making it more engaging and exciting when the song wants it. I could&#8217;ve also improved the dynamics of the fills , the bridge and the ride section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fills and transitions need a lot of work to them I messed up more than I got right during this performance. I need to get them tighter and make sure I come in at the right parts. Sometimes it doesn&#8217;t sound like a clear transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stylistic accuracy I have some understanding of the style of the song. The drums loose some groove to it because I played it in quarter notes instead of triplets. I also needed to be more dynamically accurate to make the song have the energy and feel that it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage presence I mainly just look focused on what im doing except when Bradley comes over to the drums and face me for the bridge where we match rhythms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Day tripper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timing and tempo is wayyyy too fast I slow down during parts and need to keep a constant tempo. I also need to improve coming back in at the right time. Im pretty sure I speed up a bit on the harmony bit too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Groove and feel is unsteady we were playing the song way too fast so I think made the song sound worst too but also my timing not being consistent and dynamics could be better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>coordination and independence I was struggling to keep the steady tempo for the song playing that fast and also when the snare would be on every beat I would end up slowing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamics could have been a lot better especially for all the build up snare part or on the harmony section. I could also add better dynamics to the main beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fills and transitions I don&#8217;t play fills in this sound instead it&#8217;s just a complete stop then I come back in which the timing on that could be a lot tighter. The harmony sections is kinda similar to a fill and that bit I could improve the sound dynamic and tempo of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stylistic accuracy some understanding of the style. I looked how the Beatles played the song and the dynamics he uses I could&#8217;ve done a lot better to replicate the sound of the song though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage presence im mainly just focused on drumming and trying to keep up with a high tempo steady tempo , I sometimes look over to Oliver and use the tambourine as a click to give me a better idea and try get my timing better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Califorication Timing and tempo through out this song needs improvement the tempo speeds and slows down and I mess up coming back in after choruses.
