Steady pulse, more personality
Worked on locking the kick and hi-hat together before adding ghost notes. Next practice: play the pattern for two minutes without speeding up.
Fills that land on one
Practiced short tom fills and focused on returning to the main groove cleanly. Next practice: count the last beat out loud.
Dynamics make the groove breathe
Explored quiet verses and bigger choruses without changing tempo. Next practice: mark the loud and soft sections in a favorite song.
