First off, a disclaimer to the people who normally read my blog (Adam and Cara) this post will be of no interest to you so you may as well stop now. Carrying on. Much has happened in my world of drums today/yesterday. Let's just say my entire concept of playing the drums has completely changed. It all began by reading the June issue of modern drummer magazine, the focus of which was on co-ordination. And I must say the interview with Marco Minnemann has changed my life. All conventional ideas of drumming I had before are now replaced by a new wellspring of musical creativity. I am now working on the hardest beat I have ever devised for my self. Let's just say it involves the left side of my body playing a paradiddle broken up between left hand and left foot, while my right side carries a beat in 4/4. It will blow my mind when I cn actually play it up to speed. speaking of speed I'm on it. right now. Actually I regained some control over my feet and can now play upwords of 220 bpm.
That's all for now I guess...

Yeah, when i try the 4/4 with my right side i usually end up pulling something. Im upwards of 99999 bpm right now, but thats only because im a robot from the future.
p.s. every word in modern drummer was written by me including every question and answer from interviews
"paradiddle" is now my new favourite word.

Yes, you have every reason to hate me.
