gurdymonkeyYou know all that rain we got yesterday? The rain that evidently made the national news with enough of a splash that my Mom emailed me several times from Maryland to make sure I was OK?
Well, it had let up sufficiently by the time I left the house for taiko. It was just me, Sean-sensei, Shannon-sensei, Ryan, Bob and Tracy - and a roomful of drums that all sounded and felt like they all had a code in der doze.
The new piece is, well... As is often the case, my sensei are trying to reconstruct something from an old video tape and this thing has several interlocking parts that will not interlock properly if the component lines don't begin on the right beat. We looped this sucker six ways from Sunday last night and none of us is sure it's working right.
We only got to spend a couple minutes on "Friday Night Gig", but we got a round of applause from the folks who made it for the beginner class after us. I don't have this one in my hands yet and it felt crappy. I SO need to play it more. Wonder if it's worth dragging a practice drum to Coronet and putting in some noise time this Saturday?
Debating whether to camp Coronet or not. I've got a buttload of laundry I must do this evening.....
