Homework: 

Goal: dribbling the bachi
Using a bouncy surface (drum pad, mouse pad, couch cushion, steering wheel), practice "dribbling the bachi". Focus on using only the elbow, only the wrist, and only the fingers, then some of all of them. Which works best for you? What is your ideal tempo with that bachi on that surface?
Next week, you will demonstrate dribbling the bachi on the taiko.
