Explosions Drill
- movements that run fast to slow, isolating the motion of the shoulder/elbow from the wrist
- 4x on each hand 1 count out
- 2x on each hand 1 count to arm extension, 1 count to wrist extension
- 1x on each hand 1 count to arm extension, 3 counts to wrist extension

Baribal
- Pedestal Stance: lean as much as possible into the back leg for you to lean back and have more access to the closer side of the drum
- Create dynamic contrast in the choreography by making the first two back-and-forth swings of the arm smaller and more controlled.
- Emphasize the fast to slow motion of the explosions!!
- Bulbous Version: Dokokara Rainbow twists, and audience-faced circles
- Flat version: Planar, JB/KarC "painting" technique, make sure the right arm is always above the left!
- Groove: making a contrast of energy during the explosions

Breakdown
- Look aggressive and sharp, less controlled or flowy to contrast the beginning of Baribal!
- Think about groove in the open spaces
