Trying to work up “An Assembly of Outrage” by @cpickering. This piece is crazy cool! Still a lot of work to do, to be sure, but it’s coming along...I think. 😬 Also, the president of @adamsstateuniv Dr. Lovell came over when she heard/saw me and took some neato pictures! From a safe distance of course! 😂 . . . #adamsstate #adamsstateuniversity #adamsstatepercussion #percussion #percussionist #peopleofpercussion #snaredrum #drumming #drummer #music #musician #classicalmusician #musicianlife #contemporarymusic #classicalmusic #quarantinemusic #colorado (at Adams State University - Music Department) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Yq82rpHVJ/?igshid=jpg3a6dnynxb

Remembered seeing this groovy beat in 5 from a video by @iambensatterlee a while back and felt inspired to learn it. Could be a little groovier and cleaner, but progress is progress. A little trickier than I thought for sure! . . . #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstateuniversity #drums #drummer #drumming #drumset #drumkit #zildjian #pearl #remo #percussion #percussionist #peopleofpercussion #percussionlife #music #musician #musicianlife #inspiration #superloudhats (at Adams State University - Music Department) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0USkUNFbRM/?igshid=n63t0rufkog4

Sometimes we come across passages in marimba music that we tend to overthink. For example, sticking. When I first learned this little lick a little while back, my sticking for it was very uncomfortable and usually I would find my my mallets colliding together. After some re-evaluation, this is my new COMFORTABLE sticking. #percussiontips #percussion #percussão #percussionist #percussiontipoftheday #drums #drumming #drummer #music #musician #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #contemporarymusic #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstate (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 37/100 for my #100daysofpractice Another thing that helps to learn anything in your music that trips you up is to incorporate it into an exercise that you normally might do in a warm up. #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstate #adamsstatemusic #percussion #percussionist #percussionista #percussionlife #drums #drummer #drumming #snaredrum #snare #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #orchestra #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 36/100 for my #100daysofpractice When you encounter rhythms that mess with your head a little bit, the best thing you can do is break it down! Take out all grace notes and gradually work them back in. #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstate #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionista #drums #drummer #drumming #snaredrum #snare #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #orchestra #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)
