After the teachers left the Training Station yesterday afternoon and I had the building all to myself, I practiced on the drumset. Josh recorded the songs for this Sunday so I could practice. It worked pretty well. He recorded the guitar and vocals, so I put them on my iPod along with recordings that other bands have made of each song. I listened to the other bands to see what their drummers did, then listened to Josh’s recording and played along with it.
It went nicely, but it’s hard to memorize how to play a song the same way each time on the drumset. There’s so much repetition involved! There were four songs that I probably played about twenty times each. That still leaves me with a couple more to work on. One of the tricky things will be remembering how I played each song. I guess maybe I should record myself playing each one so I can remember on Sundays how to play it!
