Minutes On Instrument: 
80
Other Participants: 
Yuta Kato
Notes: 

15 min of improv turns on ending.  Generally feeling better but 15 minutes felt like enough.

Liked when YK played sparse and somewhat random accents.  Tried at a faster tempo but for whatever reason it didn't catch me the same.

YK discovered "bachi shots", where one player does a bachi slap and the next hits the bachi.  Added it to the list of extended techniquest we might use at end.

Spent much of the time working on muting.  Zoomed into first bar then practiced muting "1", "e", "&", and "u".  Final drill was muting one time each, two times through, then switching who plays downbeat.
