Post Grand Annex practice.  Excited to talk with KM on drive over and both before starting practice.

Minutes On Instrument:

Kaz Mogi
Notes: 

Suga 3 new positions and drum setup.

Slow runthrough with new positions.

To tighten "Slow 6" groove and "1/2 Slow 6" phrases, tried isolating three sets of hits within the phrase: the first two "accent grace grace grace" sets, and the final, all-loud set.

Slowed down the practice with a click, trying to hear the second set more clearly and gradually increased the tempo (5-7bpm at a time) up to game speed.

Shortened the decrescendo of simple triplets near the end.

Tried a "compressed transitions" drill for the end section.

Notes: 

Tried Blaine ghosting concept.

  • straight-16ths movements, 1eau accents.
  • accented-1 movements, 1eau accents.  Surprising to watch, esp. if bachi tip leads small strike pull-up.
  • triplet movements, accent on first grace note.  Particularly surprising.
  • repeating two-drum movements, melodic accents.  If two people have two drums, reversed, all notes in grid are accessible.
  • changing two-drum movements, repeating accents.
  • three-drum movements...
