This is a performance I did in the store cupboard of my school (sounds worse than it is lol). For those of you who do not know what a BTEC is, just think of it as a GCSE.
Alright.
I know my posture is appalling, my timing needs work, I was tense in places, and there were many mistakes, but I would like some constructive criticism and feedback please
ok, so the first piece is Back in The Day, a song I ripped from Steve Jordan's The Groove Is Here, and i'm just trying to replicate the Steve Jordan's playing. I didn't quite find the pocket, and it doesn't start too well
The Second tune is MUCH BETTER. It's Flat Beat by Mr.Oizo, which has no drums. For this I composed my own drum part, which is heavily influenced by the playing of Jojo Mayer.
When I say "heavily influenced" I mean, at least about 70% of the ideas in my playing were his, I just threw em together in context with some of my own.
This is not to showcase my originality or unique style; until I have developed my own style I can only do my best to emulate those who inspire me.
Please excuse the enormous teacher walking across the room in between the songs
OH and yeah, my hair isn't usually all over my face like that, but when I play, I tend to look down at my drums, so.... yeah
what do you think?
