Over the past two weeks I have been up to my eye balls with playing gigs and practicing with bands so I appoligies for being a week behind on my blog. I have been in contact with multiple venues to secure gigs and open mic nights, it has done a lot for my perfoming and orginisational skills as well as expand on my networking opportunities. I am have also strated experiencing paid gigs and it's helpful for buying equiptment, Ive found myself paying money to make money these days. With regards to my college work I just recently passed my theory test which was focusing on rythm; Identifying time signatures, Note groupings, notating rythms etc. When revising for my theory exam I found myself developing a farmiliarity with iregular time signature which made me start to use them in my drumming. Signatures like 5/4, 7/4 and 7/8 have been my main focus for grooves and fills however with my rudimental exercises I have been working on playing 5's over a quarter note click track. I find 5's the most unusuall. I have also been compiling my development stage of my graded unit by recording practice sessions with bands and also me on my own, working on pieces for my course work and for bands i will be gigging in. For now i will continue to do what i am doing and continue to devlop and progress to the next level.
