Attempting 30 minutes of dbl bass and 30 minutes of Johnny Rabb free-hand technique every day for all of 2010.

Daily sprint timings on the drum-o-meter and hopefully I'll find a graphing tool to show progress and digression.

Daily record of drill tempos through "Stick Control" and "Syncopation"

Three times per week heavy physical therapy work for ball of foot, and for ankle-knee-hip stability.

Weight lifting and rice bucket work in a self-made Tom House system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_House with help from pro-pitcher Adam Eaton.

4 days a week of core work too.

Jan 22, '10 Friday

Really missing practicing with musicality as the objective.  I hope this pays off musically by the end of the year, but hopefully a lot sooner.  My students are getting interested in DeathClock.  The drummer has got to be playing his bass drums at around 900 hits per minute through entire songs.  I'm hovering around 700 in one minute and I"m like, "Whew, made it!"  I'm just wondering if I could ever keep 700 going for 2 minutes?  He's got to weigh 300 plus pounds.  A very inspiring guy, and obviously a technical wonder.  There is no way he's just using brute strength and cardio fitness.  Looks like it's time to get his DVD.  His name is Gene Hoglan:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSGkxNpP8aU
