He was about to launch into more Led Zepplin, but I stopped him and told him I wanted to work on speed and accuracy of 16th note and triplet fills. So he took out the stick exercises book and picked out about ten exercises. He told me to work then slow to fast until the breaking point. Then stay at just below the breaking point until I get past it. And he showed me some ways to apply it to the kit.
I'm going to really try to develop a regular sticking practice...like 30 minutes a day or so. I'd like to go for an hour...but I don't want to shoot too high and end up giving up. It's way past time for me to get this under control.
