Hi comrades and welcome to the fourth weekly improvement megathread!

This is the last Sunday of the month so we can do a monthly review in addition to the weekly review.

Here are some ideas for discussion but feel free to talk about other stuff as well:

  • How was your January?
  • Do you want to share something that you’ve done this week or month?
  • Do you have some plans or goals for February?
  • What would you like to accomplish or improve next week or month?

I’m wishing everybody good luck in February! unity

    Hello fellow SigmaAlphaBeta Grindset Self Help Reading Mindful Capitalism Cuckolds. I have been out of town for some music shit. Some good things came out of it that I can’t say here but I can say i went to the gym and ran two miles for the first time in a long time. I did practice everyday but it wasnt always the best practice.

    Not trying to practice today because I wanna play the new Yakuza game.

    Forearm technique:

    [v] Tap Stroke 70 BPM. I finished full strokes for now, tap strokes are basically baby full strokes so I don’t think I’ll be spending much time here. 10mins.

    [v] Rebound stroke LH 16th@100BPM. Drop forearm, let stick hit surface, pickup forearm, get free rebound stroke. I’ll be working on double stroke after this. 10mins.

    Left foot technique:

    I might need to take a lesson again. I think I’m stuck.

    [v] Heel Down 60-70 pedal stays with foot 10mins

    [v] Ankle 120-125BPM 10mins

    [v] Ankle 175-170BPM 10mins

    Groove Studies:

    [v] Jazz ride with Bass Drum permutations

    [v] Work on weak points on 1 bar click on, 2 bars click off. Eighth Notes, Sixteenth Notes, sextuplets subdivided in 3 and2, 32nd. 60 BPM Benny Greb app 20 mins.

    [v] Quarter Notes. 30BPM Subdivide between 8th notes and Triplets 20 mins.

    Listening/Ride Cymbal:

    I need to do this more seriously, I’m falling off the wagon.

    [ ] Listen to Recordings, take notes.

    January went good, a lot of no work. February will be much busier for me oh well.
