So far my free inquiry has been primarily about learning a few basic snare rudiments. This week and next week are a focus on applying those rudiments to specific exercises to help prove and demonstrate my knowledge, skills, and understanding.

So far I am facing some challenges, which of course is all a part of the process! Right now I have most exercises (excluding paradiddle exercises) at a comfortable 75 bpm. It is coming! My goal this week is to get 9 different exercises that showcase all the rudiments I have worked on so far at an even 90 bpm. I am feeling a little nervous but optimistic.

This week I have a bit of a draft video performance. Here is a few exercises at the comfortable 75 bpm mark. They aren’t perfect but they are coming!

Next week should be a beautiful and polished midterm performance video. Keep a look out for that! Until next time, happy practicing.
