at the moment I´m workin on double paradiddle with accents mix with triplet and so on.
I try to mix lots of things together and repeat as often as i can. Especially I`m working on beats with no always continuous hithat / ride.  Mostly i try to play offbeat. I think it s a very good way to get new rhythms...
at second im train to get my left hand to the same speed level as my right and it should be in almost the same relaxed way.    Shocked

Finishing up the last few pages of Future Sounds by Dave Garibaldi

How is that book? I was considering buying it, but I don't know if it's worth it.  Could you describe what it's like please?

Listening well enough to follow the flow when it changes so that I'm seemless.

Leading with the left hand rather than right.

Apologizing for being an Ass.

I am currently working on my left hand coordination, and putting some effort in a better left foot (hi-hat).

I just joined a new band, which plays harder rock than I was used to play. So I'm doing a lot of double bass stuff, and try to remember the grooves of all 32 (!!!) original songs the band plays. Have to get those tight in a month or two. Then we will be recording something like 15 songs. Probably 12 of them will be released at the end of the year, when our debut-CD hits the markets....  Smiley

No, actually I didn't.  I haven't had time though, because of exams and solo and ensemble festival.

As always, jazz, but as of recently...

Phrasing and thinking of the ride pattern in 3/4, along with the jazz waltz pattern basics.  I really should get into oddtime again, I touched on it a while back but should learn to do more complex rhythms there to furthur my ability to come up with oddtime rhythms on the spot...

I got the guys in our band to incorporate a 13/8 at one point where we've just come out out of a 6/8, sort of to mix things up a bit. The crowd was sort of swaying and dancing to the 6/8 and when we got into the 13, they really went crazy! Everyone sort of let lose of the conventional styles they were used to got real tribal. It was so fricken cool!
The way we do it is - 3 sets of three, then 2 twos.

Cool, I haven't played anything in really odd time signatures for a while.  Used to jam with a fusion band way back when, we'd play in 5/4, 9/8, 11/8, and the one I COULDN'T feel, 19/8 (I forget the pattern).  Another cool beat is a "rotating 8/8", i.e.

123 123 12
123 12   123
12   123 123

It turns into a very easy pattern but it's very cool.
