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.

Test week's Times and BPMs (hits per minute which are nefariously called Beats Per Minute)

Jan 23 10 Saturday

Total drumming hours:  6 (all during lessons)

But!!!  During one of the lessons a student request that I show how many hits I could do in a minute on the dbl bass.  I hit 705.  That's all my speed work for today. 

Lot's of musicality.  And went to a fantastic dance recital/fund raiser tonight.  It have me a lot of new ideas.  Also, may have begun an apprentice mentor relationship with a 9th grader who has at least 4 hours per day to practice.  This could be the start of something great for him.  Our goal is to prepare him for a full ride scholarship to Berkelee.
