[import ID 2164] really struggled to motivate at own practice. Met with Gary for the first time; everything we tried was successful (him playing over my grooves, me playing over drone - groove, adding electric bass to "trap"-style groove, adding bass to Maracas, Murder, etc; unfortunately, it wasn't quite the musical rush I was hoping for... not sure why.
