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.
