hmm, well sometimes coffee has some not so nice side effects like the fact that is 4:38am and i'm awake. Tomorrow is gonna suck. On the positive side I gave up trying to sleep around 2 and I practiced without break for 2 hours and 37 minutes. It felt like no time at all. The difference in speed after doing drills for 1.5 hours is substantial, I hope that it won't go away tomorrow but it always does. Music is a weird art cause as you do your work it disappears unless some effort to record it is taken (which is infrequent) verse painting or other arts that you can see the 3 hours of work you put in the day before. Anyways, back to my practice, the most exciting thing is that my split hand turkish technique is getting fast enough that i can do rolls with just the left. For you drummers it would be:

D D kkkkT D kkkkT kkkk

It's pretty much up to full speed, lacks a little bit of power but it's almost good to go.

shit, my stomach is growling, it wants breakfast, bummer.
