- Groove: what's being accented? Marked on the kuchishoga sheet
- Start very slow and practice being very large
- Triplet feel
Inifinity Migi (A)
- Arm Twirl/Pancake flip technique
- Arms should feel like the left is always chasing after the right
- Focus on completing circles by using more elbow on both sides of the body
- Twist at the hip to reach the opposite sides of the drum--keep the axis of the body upright and dont lean over --- only twist
Infinity Migi (B)
- Played with the right foot a step forward--idea is to be more in front of the drum like a 'half-x-pattern' type of stance
- "Painting" technique
