The Yamaha Maple Custom at JGCC

I went down yesterday had a meeting with the Chairman - There will be the Orchestra playing for an hour before our Performances on 23rd Feb 2008.....We will be playing on the Stage.

I've check the Yamaha Maple Custom - and have proposed that the below to be changed - Thus I need to be at the CC today again - to highlight to Mr Chong of JGCC - to change the below following:-

The 2 pieces of Toms Holder (change to New Ones)
The Snare Stand
The Bass Drum Legs - one of them is Cracked.
One piece of Floor Tom Leg's Rubber stopper is missing.
Change all Drum Batter & Reso to Evans (they have it there already for this).


Cheers !
Eric

It was indeed a great learning process besides being FUN ... reading Scores as we play the Rudiments....it's really nice.

NOTE: - Can I have another 3 more Volunteers please ...

Rudiments include eg .....

16th Notes Accent (1eta, 2eta)
Flams Accent, (Rl lr) - very simple also - only do once. kekeke
5-Stroke Rolls ( very little here)
Triplets ( 1-ta-ta, 2-ta-ta)
Rest & and only a few Tie-Notes...

PS: - we hit on the Rims too when doing some of these Rudiments & it's nice.eee

Now.wwww - Please come out and help us please - it's Fun & great learning ! ...

PS: - Unfortunately - I really have alot of things to mend on the day 23rd itself - But I gave it a go yesterday (to find out for myself) -- with alittle practice - no problem - you can all do it with no problem- - Do Join in - It's FUN TIME Bro/Sis

To add on to what RD had said, don't worry about the reading part. Can just hear and learn. Nazreen will break it down for you. Nazreen is a very nice guy. If i'm not wrong, most of the things we played are single strokes and flams.

RD, got 5 stroke roll meh?

Btw, why does my hair look like helmet in some pictures..
