Day 7/100 for my #100daysofpractice Worked on a couple of excerpts tonight, so here is a clip of myself playing measures 98 to the end of movement II from Shostakovich Symphony no. 10. Needless to say, still some work to be done. I'm also realizing I need a new batter head for this drum, for it is well played out. #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstateuniversity #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionista #percussionists #snaredrum #drums #drummer #drumming #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #classicalpercussion #concertpercussion #orchestra #shostakovich #symphony #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 3/100 for #100daysofpractice Still working Bach's second cello suite prelude tonight. Mostly working on stickings, so cut me some slack for reading off the page still, please! #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstateuniversity #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionista #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #classicalpercussion #concertpercussion #orchestra #cello #bach #chambermusic #chambermusician #drums #drummer #drumming

Day 29/100 for my #100daysofpractice and a #percussiontipoftheday When learning new four mallet pieces you’ll almost certainly come across some chords and interval changes that are hard to commit to regular and muscle memory. When this happens, sometimes it is helpful to play the chords in a different and “fun” rhythm. #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstateuniversity #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionista #marimba #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #classicalpercussion #concertpercussion #orchestra #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 24 for my #100daysofpractice plus a #percussiontipoftheday When you being learning a new piece, particularly a multi percussion piece, I find it helps to learn the rhythms first on a drum pad of some sort and then it’ll be easier to transfer to the setup later. Give this a try some time and see if it helps you! #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstatepercussion #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionlifestyle #percussionista #percussionists #multipercussion #multiplepercussion #drums #drummer #drumming #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #classicalpercussion #concertpercussion #orchestra #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 22/100 for my #100daysofpractice Here is another exercise that I'm doing that works on single independent rolls. Not only that, but it alternates between mallets 1&3 and 2&4 together, then it's insides together and outsides together (1&4 and 2&3). When you come across single independent rolls on both hands you may need to try both to see which one fits better. #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstateuniversity #percussion #percussionlife #percussionlife #percussionista #percussionlifestyle #drums #drummer #drumming #music #musician #musicianlife #marimba #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #classicalpercussion #concertpercussion #chambermusic #chambermusician #orchestra (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 18/100 for my #100daysofpractice I've been very inaccurate in two mallets lately, so this is an exercise I do to try and work on my accuracy. Start on the D just above middle C and in triplet pattern go down by one half step each down beat on the left hand and up one half step each downbeat on the right hand. As you can see, the task become exponentially more difficult when speeding up the tempo. #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstateuniversity #percussionist #percussion #percussionlife #percussionista #percussionists #marimba #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #classicalpercussion #concertpercussion #music #musician #musicianlife #chambermusic #chambermusician #orchestra (at Adams State University - Music Department)
