A 50 degree day in February during Covid calls for some much needed backyard hangs with some stellar friends and some seriously good bourbon 👌👌👌
Trying to keep myself sane by working on things that don’t involve any mallets 😅 still working on trying to tighten up my playing and feel like a leader, but it’s a slow progress. I’ve got some serious ‘marimba player’ feel I’m trying to work out of me. So here’s a picture of my set that makes me 🤤🤤🤤 and quick little update of me trying to play a bit groovier and my drumming face #AuthenticForTheGram. Looking forward to posting an even better update of this banger. Enjoy the process 🤟🤟🤟
You ever have weeks where you have more coffee than water? Feeling a *bit* overwhelmed right now ngl but I’m reminded from a conversation with @torri_daniels that I am thankful for the opportunity to be this busy and have this many things to do. Time to grind.
Playing under pressure has become more difficult for me since I started my masters. I’ve never been one to reallllly suffer that much from perform anxiety but man I’ve had it bad recently. So I guess that’s why I’m proud of myself today. No, there were no audience to see me play, but there were recordings to be done and a time restraint on them too - now or never. So when I somehow got the take I wanted in two tries today, regardless if I make it through the rounds of competitions I’m applying for, I’m proud that I pulled off the rep I wanted to play while still being nervous. No it’s not perfect but I’m trying to do better at seeing progress in smaller ways. Swipe right if you wanna see me play choppy things decently well under pressure woohoo.
The truest of hangs with the truest of dudes. Needed this
Wow I have so much music to learn that I decided to stop practicing and post about it on Insta instead #NotStressedAtAll how’s your days going?
