Drumming and Body Flow
So I sort of left the house really late to get to the drumming class but I’m definitely enjoying it more. We’re sort of getting into actually drumming rather than talking so much, and everyone has stopped talking as much as they were previously, although some stuff that I think is common sense is still being questioned over and over every class, but at least during each class they are only asked once rather than three times.
I’m still having a really hard time with the different beats that I found was because the beats aren’t being broken down for me really well. This one that the instructor put up, I couldn’t figure out at all, until he said something that just made perfect sense and I could play it perfectly after he explained it. I’m going to need to find a drum instructor that can do that for me all the time, because if it’s not broken down I don’t think I’ll ever get it.
I also find it strange that we were told about paradiddles in the first class, but mr. instructor has never actually taught it to us. When he’s talking and I’m listening I’ll absent-mindedly start doing it on my knee or something, but it’s weird we weren’t taught what I’ve been told is an extremely basic drum warm up. *shrug*
Anyways, after class I was driving home, and nearly skipped out on the Body Flow class. For some reason I just really wasn’t feeling it, and a part of me wasn’t even sure if I was going to make it to the class on time since we finished a bit later than we normally would have. In the end, I ended up driving to the class and it was pretty nice. It was the new release, so everyone was pretty ackward and not knowing what to do.
A few poses I could do well and there were more (I felt) that reminded me of yoga which made me more comfortable. What sucked was the studio was FREEZING cold. I need to find a hoodie that doesn’t have a big zipper thing, because the one I wear now is a big lightening bolt that digs into my chest if I’m doing back strenghening.
Anyways, that was pretty much it for my evening!
I feel better (i.e. not sick) now so I’m hoping to go back to hitting the gym at least 3 times a week! Possibly more!!
