We can play a simple version of the song all the way through , but when I go home I&#8217;m gonna practice the fills and where the crashes and stops are. I struggled on the fill at first because it was in triplets but I think ill be able to get it down for next practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liam learnt the chords and the song pretty much instantly so now he&#8217;s changing it a bit and adding his own twist on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the song works for Jemma&#8217;s range she just needs to learn the lyrics , it&#8217;ll be easier for her to know the timings once I know where all the extra drum stuff is such as fills so it&#8217;ll give her a cue on when to come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Rehearsal (6th November) \" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sieFzkn8Asg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The practice went alright we started to get the song down but I really need to tighten up the triplet fill as well as the crashes during the bridge.

I can hear quite a few slip ups from me sometimes missing some kicks. The timing is alright not perfect ,I think we need more energy while playing this song to match the Romones energetic fast punk energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn&#8217;t take many recordings since it wasn&#8217;t the main part of this project and when I came back from being ill we had all the songs down as I practiced the songs at home. The one part I struggled with the most for the songs were the Christmas song baby please come home on the triplet fill , however I had a drum lesson on it and during the lesson I had it down instantly so I hope it was alright for the gig too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simon my drum teacher when I had a lesson with him helped me get my triplet fill tighter as well as telling me to play it on the toms 2 triplets on rag and 2 on the floor tom. He also said if I wanted to I could play it in a shuffle which would&#8217;ve sounded better but I wasn&#8217;t confident enough to do so for thee gig as when I first started practicing shuffle it was really awkward for me and coming back into shuffle from a beat makes me lose it so ive been practicing doing a shuffle then fill back to shuffle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we started project 2 and I&#8217;m in a band with Liam (Guitar) Ellie (bass) Jemma (vocals) Oliver (guitar) Dess (vocals).
