Chris is doing a great job reading! After quickly reviewing the core concepts and warming up with the quarter note exercises he was able to jump into the eighth note exercises and decipher the rhythms with very little help from me. He was determined to play through the whole exercise and after a few takes he was able to complete it with virtually no mistakes. Tom Sawyer continues to challenge Chris' endurance which led to a great conversation about technique and effective practice. He then had a great time working on Consoler of the Lonely, a song that includes a lot of interesting and unique drum parts, and was able to learn the basic framework of the song by the end of the song.
