** overall
How you "come off" as a player.
Experienced, serious, and respectful. But also "rule-follower", stiff, joyless.
** Shagiri
*** initial impressions
good - "controlled", "precise"
needs work - "tense", "robotic"
*** suggestions
**** logistical
no need for formal announcement; say it as you walk to drum over met.
"shah" "gi" "ri"
no bow - think of your teachers as individuals and try to connect personally
**** "mesen"
When I play, do I look natural at the drum (opposite of "out of place")? If so...
Cultivate your connection to the instrument by looking at it.
Scoot feet away so that "mesen" addresses drum. (demo of not enough, too much, just right)
**** torso rotation
why I appreciate torso rotation even though I love Zako-san's playing.
drills/images that help coordinate torso (rubber band)
**** unbending arm
Who is your role model for this strike?
Why I use all joints for the strike. (not confident)
Downplaying "habit"... seeking "dexterity".
drills/images that help coordinate arm (pulling on rope)
** Renshuu
*** initial impressions
good - "controlled", "precise", "humble"
needs work - L in A, last L of E, timing of pull ups, R elbow
*** suggestions
L in A: torso rotation, reach
last L of E: sticking
timing of pull ups: slow practice
R elbow: pulling on rope
** Crescendo
*** initial impressions
good - each hit on crescendo truly louder than last. Really good.
needs work - drill structure should be clearer, more focused on height
*** suggestions
naname as halfway between beta and hachijo. Abby too hachijo.
