Halfway through

The 30-day 10-minute daily single-stroke roll challenge at Drumeo has taken some getting used to.  They warned everyone that the right starting point would vary and that it'd likely take a few sessions before finding it.  

This was today's practice:

Practice pad:  

3 minutes of 1/8 notes at 60 bpm

3 minutes of 1/16 notes at 60 bpm

3 minutes of 1/32 notes at 60 bpm (slowed to 85% if needed)

1/16-note single stroke roll

1 minute, 120 bpm

2 minutes, 116

3 minutes, 108

4 minutes, 104

Down in the Bottom, full speed (116 bpm, 4:16)

Happy/Tacky, half speed (80 bpm, 5 minutes)

I've been working on those 2 songs for about a week.  I don't play along with the song every day; sometimes it's just me and the metronome.  That's the way I roll.
