Days 33 and 34
Hello,
So I was on the road again... And I'm posting two days worth of practice.
I've reached the 20' Workout goal for this week... But I end it up really tired. And my doubles are getting sloppy too (It's in 32nd Notes at 92bpm, but still...).
Today I took the 20' Workout back to crappy-land. My doubles went to hell... The bpm is fine in the beginning, but i eventually get tired and everything goes south... Guess I'll be working on this tomorrow: Doubles. Next week will be focused on the Double Stroke Roll as well, so I guess I'll be fixing that anyway.
Bye now.

Day 32
Hello,
It's Fryday, and I'm feeling tired as hell. This week was tough. So, I'll be brief today.
Nothing new... Felt tired on the Workout exercise, but that could be to the fact that I'm was tired when I began the damn thing...
The Single Stroke Roll got a little sloppy in the beginning on the left hand. but then I managed to fix that. I also moved 2 bpm up in this, so I guess it's alright.
I've started a Diddle exercise too, to prepare for a couple of exercises my private instructor gave me before the surgery (that I didn't started yet...). It was easy enough to start.
The rest was the same as yesterday, just a little faster.
Tomorrow I'll be on the road again... I'll try to do the exercises in the morning... IF I wake up early. And that's rare for a Saturday. Anyway, my pad is going with me again.
That's it. Bye.

Day 31
Hello,
Slow day today... Only had 30 minutes to practice.
I kept the BPM of the 20' Workout in 90 for today, so I could work on my resistance... I'm getting really really tired after this workout. But, tomorrow I'll be doing it at 91bpm anyway. I'm getting the speed fine though.
Same thing with the Single Stroke Roll exercises. I start them fine, and then, as my left arm gets tired, I'm getting sloppy. Only daily practice will fix that, so I'll be keeping this two exercises as my minimum daily practice. Only half a hour a day... Totally doable.
That's it then, bye.

Day 30
Hello,
One month complete. Only one day missed. To me, that's a great thing... And I could see a lot of improvement already.
Today's practice (now with the date!)
A lot of Single Stroke Roll love. I think this week is going to be awesome because of this focus on one rudiment only, since all the exercises will be focusing on the SSR. Will be a lot easier to see the improvement, as I'll have only one thing to evaluate in the end of the week.
Go go go.
Bye.

Day 29
Hello,
Today was a busy day... So I ended up getting behind on my blog posting schedule...
First, reviewing the goals:
I underestimated the Single Stroke Roll exercises... So that was a long shot from the start.
The "3's, 5's and 7's" almost got there... I could do the whole thing at 150bpm, but it sounded sloppy, so I concluded that it was a goal not reached.
The rest was pretty easy, even with a weird week like this one...
The next goals:
This week, I decided to focus on one rudiment only, and get it fast and clean: The Single Stroke Roll. But I couldn't forget the 20' Workout... So there's 2 goals for this week.
Today's practice was:
I did pretty much what was necessary to finish the weekly goals.
The Single Stroke Roll got solid, and my left hand is getting a lot better... Sometimes, it seems better than my right hand... Weird.
This next week goals will be a heavy treatment for my singles, so I expect a lot of improvement for next week.
Bye.

Days 27 and 28
Hi there,
So, I was away from my home town the last few days, and I didn't updated this thing because of that.
I managed to exercise 2 of this last 3 days... So, in the last month, I practiced every single day, but one. I think that's pretty good, considering I've always been the lazy type.
So, the practices were:
The second day I practiced on the road, in my hotel room at night... So I had to keep the volume down. So I just decided to review the day before and that's that.
Also, I let the goals to the next day... But I ended up getting home waaay too late, so I just gave up practicing and went to bed.
I'll be doing the goals review/set thing on the next post then.
Bye.
