A good session

Some feedback here: I thought there was a lot to like about last night's practice. I liked learning the beats around the table. I liked that we did 6/8. It's one of my favourite rhythms anyway, but also it's good to have a change from straight samba. I liked that there were opportunities to stop and really work over a section slowly when there was a glitch. That's how we're going to improve our technique.

Generally, I thought we had a good balance of playing and learning. A good night!

Thanks for your help last night.I thought it was a great rehearsal and learnt alot. The only problem is thursday night is so far away from the end of rehearsal. Playing surdo on a drum pad doesnt have the same feel........

Well, there's nothing for it but to buy your own surdo! :) Third is best. Third is best. Third is best. :) :)
