Catching Up... Working on Discipline

It may appear, from my lack of recent updates, as though I've fallen off the wagon.  There's a reason for that:  It's because, well, I have!

Just kidding.  :)  I don't give up quite that easily!

Although the past few weeks have been extremely busy (see one of the things I've been busy with here), fear not, for I haven't forgotten my mission of improvement!

I've decided to undertake the "30 Day Drum Workout", a drum exercise book I purchased a while ago but until now have only paged through.

The book is very well organized and structured in a manner that I think will fit nicely my style of learning.  It begins with a series of warm-up exercises to perform each day, at a progressively faster tempo, followed by a unique exercise for that day both on a single drum and on a drum set.

To help track my progress, I made a special Practice Log, inspired by these Weight Training Workout Trackers (props to Corrie Haffly for the awesome designs!).  Voila:

 

I think it will be fun to see how much I can improve and progress in the next 30-60 days.

On a different topic, I'd like to quickly thank everyone who has commented and emailed me through this web site!  Initially I wasn't getting alerted of the replies to my posts, so I didn't get some of the feedback until a while after it had been left.  But I do greatly appreciate each and every comment and email and hope to see more of them!

Good idea using a chart like that to track progress! It's always good to see in writing how far you're getting on any project. Was there any other good footage of the Thriller dance? Are you making Mikey edit that together? You should! hehe. Rock on!
