I was fortunate enough to buy my favorite finish on my dream set a couple of years ago. I can tell you that none of the excitement has worn off yet. Plus, this gives me an excuse to post another picture of my babies...

I think I didn’t do a very good job with my meme. It was more of a lament that I cannot get my matched left hand up to par no matter how hard I work at it!

So the intended joke was that my left hand matched cannot keep up with the double strokes. I’m not sure my meme conveyed that clearly!

I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I made this dumb thing and I cannot stop laughing at it.

I haven’t posted the last few solos on the forum, but they are up on my YouTube channel. Here’s number 30.

Solo 27. Introducing some new stuff. Every solo is an adventure!

Solo 26, my first Wilcoxon solo of 2021. This is one of my favorites so far. It uses both interpretations of the 7-stroke roll that Wilcoxon liked to incorporate in his solos. Sorry about the weird breathing noises at the start. Not sure why I was doing that.

Posted this to YouTube a while ago but forgot to post the link on this thread. Solo 25. This is my new Prologix Red Storm pad. More rebound than the Blue Lightning. I was surprised at how awkward the higher-rebound pad feels to my hands after playing on high-resistance pads for so long. I...

Solo 24.

It's a very, very good film. I found it profoundly moving. Drumming is not really what the movie is about, but I think anyone who loves drums or music in general can appreciate the tragedy the character experiences.

His interviews are really good. I just finally got around to watching part two of the Keltner interview yesterday. So much knowledge to glean from that.

That was fantastic! You killed it, man. I'm curious about how you mixed this also. I don't hear any of Neil's drums in the track, just yours. I've played along with enough Rush records to know how difficult a task that is. If you wouldn't mind sharing. Incredible job!

Thanks, Andy!

23 down, 127 to go.

This is phenomenal, man. I'm really impressed. I've been working through these books for a while now, but your dedication here is inspiring. It was your comment about working on the Advanced Lifetime Warmup for several years before you could play the paradiddle variations that inspired me to...

Solo 22. For some reason, I can't edit this video I took on my phone without it messing up the audio/video sync. Not sure what I did wrong. But no sheet music at the start of the video like I usually do.

Thank you, D! I really like this pad. I've been using a couple different pads for different things over the past couple years. My main hand workouts have been on the Reflexx pad, usually the bouncy side, sometimes the dead side. For drum set, I've been using the Aquarian Super-Pads; they bring...

So I picked up a Prologix Blue Lightning pad on the strong recommendation of WhoIsTony and I must say I love this pad. Here's my first Wilcoxon solo on the new toy. Solo 21.

Jim Keltner at the 0:19 mark misses a snare. And I love it. The music feels great and doesn't suffer at all for it. It enhances my enjoyment of it.

This sounds so hip, Ants. I’ve started shedding this. Seems like all the best ideas are simple concepts that can be applied many different ways. Similar to what Mark Guiliana talks about.
