I could&#8217;ve improved the dynamics of the ghost notes and drags. The main issue was my timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My coordination and independence is good for this song the only bit that really needed independence was the 2nd kick in the beat. coordination was good playing ghost notes and a little drag at the end of the beat but I think I could&#8217;ve done the drag better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dynamics are alright they&#8217;re some dynamic contrast but I could&#8217;ve done it better like the end of the verse I slowly open my hi hats. The fills would have sounded a lot nicer if I added more dynamics to it. Chad Smith the RHCP drummer plays the song with a lot more random more open hi hats to his beats to add the perfect dynamics to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fills and transitions I think I could&#8217;ve done a lot better on I would only give it a 2-2.5\/5. Listening to it back they just sound unclear or like an awkward transition I need to fix the timing dynamic and accents on them. I will achieve this by practicing fills to a metronome more and try learn how to accent wherever I want in any subdivision. As well as practice playing and changing dynamics in fills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>stylistic accuracy I had some understanding of the style but its not what I normally play. I researched it like watching Chad smith play this song as well as other songs they have made. I tried to make the dynamics similar to the original but the way he plays the dynamics are hard to do especially his hi hat foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage presence was neutral I could&#8217;ve done a lot better and look like I was enjoying it. im mainly just looking at my hi hat and ride and sometimes Rhys or Bradley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall impact I think it was solid and effective could still be improved but I think it was alright with a few mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chelsea dagger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My timing and tempo on Chelsea dagger definitely need improvement. There a few issues like speeding up slowing down and my fills , especially the fill where it is crash crash snare snare because the songs drums is played in triplets and I played in quarter notes it made it awkward changing some of the parts. The bridge section from the floor tom to the ride part could all be tighter too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Groove and feel basic groove established. I think the timing is the main reason for the groove being this low but also the dynamics could definitely be improved too. If I played the original drum part it would have better groove and feel to it too since its played in triplets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through out Chelsea dagger the dynamics are okay but not good , I could&#8217;ve had a lot better dynamics on the bridge and to match the energy deepening on what section of the song were on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fills and transitions were a bit awkward because of timing and dynamics. There was one main fill I was struggling a lot with the crash crash snare snare I played the song in quarter notes instead of triplets and the crashes match the guitar idk if that why I struggled with it or just timing though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stylistic accuracy I could&#8217;ve made the drums more exciting to match more the song more but I wasn&#8217;t fully confident playing this song , and I also changed some of the drum parts mainly just to quarter notes I miss some of the fills and crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage presence I mainly just look focused looking at what im playing a lot. On the bridge ginge comes up to me and we look at each other while doing the same rhythm but im mainly looking at his guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall Impact I would say it was solid but had uneven parts that could definitely be improved such as the fills and timing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Californacation Timing and tempo My timing and tempo through out my performance reasonably consistent there was some issues like speeding up a bit and I think the fills could&#8217;ve been tighter too , I&#8217;m happy with the timing and coming in at the same time , the verse after the guitar solo I came in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":837,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-495","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/837"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":737,"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/495\/revisions\/737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
