Relaxation day!!! Today is a celebration of how far we have all come. It has been an amazing journey so far and the best is still yet to come. When we are playing as much as we all are it is very important to give our bodies and minds some rest. It will benefit us is many ways. Our finger of fury need some time to heal, grow and absorb all of these wonderful rhythmic ideas that we are feeding them.
What to do when we are giving our fingers a small break. Well, i didn't say we wouldn't be playing at all!
Warm up. (15 minutes) Jump onto the net and start researching! Ideas as mentioned in the audio recording were: Researching rhythm history. Researching new rhythms. Finding out where certain rhythms are from. Sourcing new links (and sharing them) to interesting drumming sites. Music theory. Learn more about time signatures. Source new book over the net. Look back in the threads on this forum!!! Never under estimate the power of the FoF forum my friends. There are threads in here full of wonderful drumming knowledge. I remember seeing one all about Balkan rhythms, their names and times etc. There is also one about Moroccan rhythms with names as well. Have a good look and perhaps file them away once you find them.
