Lava Flow
So since concussion is over percussion class (4th hour) is going back to more of a curriculum type class in the way that we have assignments to prepare and turn in(or perform). My current assignment that i have a couple of weeks to do is a solo called Lava Flow and it's pretty hard for me. Playing a solo isn't what most of you think, there is a lot to playing drums. Technique, timing, different rudiments(sticking patterns) and a lot of control. It's more complicated than it seems. Here's a video of the solo i have to do. All of the flips and back sticking he does is written in, which means I will have to do it too :) yummy.

That looks really cool, hahaha. And you're right: I don't think it looks that hard. But I'm not the one in percussion, so I wouldn't know for sure. That, and I've never really touched any sort of drum in my entire life, so that might help contribute to my doubtedness. :P
