Gonna have to make this quite brief - rescheduled a lesson with Rich that I missed cos of snow for noon today, plus I really need to pee.
Just got my grade back for my presentation. Got an A. :) Pretty chuffed with that, hadn't thought it went that well but turns out I was right on the money in terms of the material I prepared for it which is nice to know.
Got a new double bass drum pedal the other day for this performance I'm doing. Was quite a cheap one - only £70 new, but I think it'll do a job. Will benefit me to do some work with it. I don't have much time to bring myself up to standard for the performance though. Thankfully none of the pieces we're doing for the showcase next month require it's use. I've started an intense practice schedule with it, just doing basic endurance exercises and rudiments that I'd have used for hand work. Of course I do all that whilst watching BBT or HIMYM or New Girl on the Laptop. ALso Community season 4 just started. Don't think it's as good as it was though tbh. Still love the character's but the scripting's not the same. Shouldn't have sacked Dan Harmon.
Other than that not much to report I don't think. Lessons are all going okay. Got the Braidwood kids the night, which I kinda dread which is a shame. I'll keep doing my best though. Seeing it all pay off with Max and Sophie and Conner and Craig though which is cool. Also might have a new student on the horizon - some guy in Forth has a daughter learning drums. Will be my first exclusive drum student which will be cool!
Need to start posting more regularly. I keep forgetting til I'm in the library which is a shame cos all I do is talk about College stuff! Outside of that I had a good open mic at the Crown the other night. Also played football that night and apparently had a really good game. Starting to get into the swing of that which is cool.
Now that I think about there is a bigger thing I'm forgetting - started a new exercise and diet regime. Doesn't sound like big news but I think I might stick with this one. Eating constantly which is a nice bonus ha, and exercising every night. Is def gonna reap rewards.
Also not sure if I've mentioned it but Avicii's new song feat. Nicky Romero is awesome.Been proper loving it this last week. Went to no 1 in the charts and everything which is quite an achievement. Don't think it did anywhere else in Europe though which is weird ha!
Anyways best get moving. Drum lesson awaits. Wait, I saw another one yesterday... What was it? Damn forgot. If I remember I'll say!
