At my last practice: I did get to jam out and jammed out for about an hour, jammed out to two Europe albums, my favorite Asia album (Carl Palmer!!!!!), then practiced Heart of the Sunrise. Let me tell you, Bill Bruford stuff is NOT easy to program into a midi file!!!!! I was programming 32nd triplets and had to figure out how to calculate how long each one would last in terms of midi files. I never even had to program those with my midi files for practicing Rush and Neil Peart stuff! Now I’m currently working on 6 0′ Clock by Dream Theater. The grooves in that song are so sweet! Even played at a slow tempo, they sound so awesome! I miss your drumming, Mike Portnoy! But I will strive to continue programming your grooves so I can learn them myself :) :) :) Anyway, this Friday I’m going to have a nice long jam session since I’m finally on vacation - WOOHOO!!!! Can’t wait! Now instead of playing for 2 hours straight, I can play for 3 or 4 hours if I want! When I was younger, I sometimes played for 5 hours straight XD XD XD
