Class syllabus: 

prep
- survey: To me, the speed of this Jack Bazaar course feels...
-- too fast
-- just right
-- too slow

Welcome

- Bachi BBQ recap
-- thoughts on Jack Bazaar
-- thoughts on BBBQ, ideas for next time

- Jack Bazaar course speed survey
- ki-pads

- recap where we are
-- iterative process
--- sticking / basic rhythm
--- choreo / tone
--- flow / dynamics
-- Murder: sticking, kuchishoga, choreo, flow feedback ABCD
-- Maracas: sticking, tone
-- additional steps in the iterative process
--- timing
---- accenting 8 beats
---- counting while playing
--- togetherness, following / leading
---- along with metronome, by self
---- with jiuchi, by self
---- transitions
--- teaching
---- notation
---- known problems

Murder steps 1-3, first count
- sticking
- kuchishoga "da ga da ga"
- choreo (R bigger than I thought)
- flow feedback (bachi lag, R hand leads, bounces)
Murder steps 1-3, second count
- same
Murder steps 1-3 counts 1 and 2 (chunk "A")
Murder step 4: counts 1, 2

Maracas steps 1-3, first count
- sticking
- kuchishoga "ga do gi da"
- choreo (L smooth, move body to help gang)
Maracas steps 1-3, second count
- same ("gang da gi de")
Maracas steps 1-3 counts 1 and 2 (chunk "A")
Maracas step 4: counts 1, 2
- next
-- variations
-- gang paradiddles
-- flow tone precision

next patterns: Slowplosion A and B
- Slowplosion A line 1 sticking and basic rhythm
-- copycat for sticking
-- alternating sticking and kuchishoga
-- choreo: L hand up to meet R for "chi"
-- chi is prep for good strikes (rather than above head)
-- each hand waiting up until the last moment for powerful strikes (next: "no loitering")
-- do a good final R strike, then move
