Just back from physio.
Last few days have been a complete doss!! Religion for an hour and a half, music for another hour and a half, real work for the rest of school it's brilliant! And of course religion's gonna be getting bigger and bigger the closer we get to that big day....May 22nd!
Drumming with headphones is the best thing that's happened to me since...ever. When you hit the drums, the snares rattle after you've moved on so they interfere with the general beat and confuse you, but with the 'phones that's completely eliminated so you get a nice, crisp, clear sound. Also, the noise is concentrated where it should be, your ears, so there's no straining your ears or going off beat.
I know I've always maintained a "with rhythms, you use all drums, with beats you use the bass, snare and hi-hat" stance but now I'm trying to integrate the two, using all drums for beats. It's going well.
Thinking of what books to get next time I'm in town.
* The Shining
* Salem's Lot
* The Twilight Zone
Currently reading 21: Bringing down the house. Tis good
