Hey all!
I recently have been working on getting my foot independence, and in particular constant 8th notes on the hi hat with my left foot. I’ve noticed after a while my hip flexors start to really tire out (not pain, just muscle fatigue) especially 8th notes at 85 bpm and up. I’m wondering if anyone else had this experience. Is this a conditioning issue, something where after a while I will build enough strength that this won’t happen (like building shin muscles for heel down)? Or is it a technique issue? I’m doing my best to use my calves and hip flexors and not just one or the other. I’ve been practicing this particular skill for about 2 months. Thanks!
