Suggestions for continued work
Req 1 - Great familiarity with sticking combinations, esp "teke tsuku". Great sense of pulse. To further improve dexterity, practice exaggerating how far back you raise the sticks. This will force the fingers and wrists to be more involved. Ask Kris for more info.
Req 2 - N/A. To be added only in future eval.
Req 3 - Fantastic! You nailed it by the 2nd minute! Good practice technique - listening/air-bachi off drum. Hardest pattern for you at the time: tsuku tsuku tsuku teke.
