Today I will rest my body to avoid injury. I'm practicing drum kit, playing events, and practicing Mallet Kat many hours a week. I'm at my limit.

Rick Dior gives a lot a material to work on between lessons. But I'm up to the challenge. So, I've organised my practice along the picture above. Not included is practice away from the instrument, namely deep listening, and band rehearsal, two key ingredients to making progress.
I practice everything with the metronome and evaluate my results through listening back or reading the score on my Roland practice app that is built into my TD-27 Sound module. It is time for the yearly stock taking part 2, the setting of new goals while considering my long-term goals.

I want to change my time sense. I play on top of the beat. Drums and piano ride front and centre. I want to learn to control my placement, consciously and deliberately. At age 61, why not? If not now, when?
