Updated Practice Routine and Practice Log

Sorry for writing this so late, but I’ve been pretty busy at work and too exhausted to write this after work.

This last week was pretty tough. Wednesday I practiced and worked out to hard, so I was really sore on Thursday.

As far as my practice routine goes, it was hard to stay on track for two hours. It was also hard to set aside two hours out of my day to practice for that long.

So here’s what I did this week and at what speeds. I also changed my hand exercises to be more effective and not so monotonous. So I took out the four-stroke and seven-stroke exercises and put in a flam tap exercise. Also, I felt that the posted exercises weren’t very challenging as far as helping with endurance. So for these rudiments, I’m just going to play strait singles, doubles, triples, etc. for one minute continuously.

Also to help with time, I found playing two exercises simultaneously would save me time. For example playing single-strokes on my feet while playing double strokes on my hands at 140bpm.

So here’s the practice log for the week of May 14th. As well as the updated hand and feet logs and the updated practice Regimen.
