Notes: 

suga-3 basic technique practice with metronome

worked through piece structure in sections
- intro
- solos
- ending

minor revisions
- removed "muting" line in intro and outro (replaced with press-hits)
- ka hits now on same drum as press hits, new ending fill
- new ride for press-hits section
- no crash on "1" after final suga-3
- suga-3 with doubles!

Practiced suga-3 with doubles and it was surprisingly successful.

5 runthroughs at end (video of 5th)

 

Next steps
- polish "ka" section, especially last count with "chi" bachi clicks
- try canon on post suga-3 big phrase
- bring mutes to experiment
- KB: practice solo
- find time(s) for last-minute runthroughs and upkeep
