Keeping on

Today's practice was nearly the same, except a few bpm faster on the single-stroke roll lesson.  Also, played an exercise on the pad from the Drumeo SSR course.  Played Down in the Bottom at 100% speed and was short of perfect.  Still some work to go.  

Then one thing different.  Had been playing Happy at half-speed along with a cover version.  Today, opted for Weird Al's version, Tacky.  Shorter by about a minute, with just one bridge on the low tom instead of two.  Today, set the playback speed to 75%, which would be 120 bpm, and got by OK.  Short of perfect on this one, too.  But several points in the song sounded to my ears pretty close to pro-level correct.  It was still more amateur than not, but with brief periods of pretty good.  Anyway, a step forward.
