Practice update!
I haven’t had much time lately to reflect on my practice sessions but I think I can spare a few minutes right now. So I have been trying to practice more. I finally finished programming 6 O’ Clock into Cakewalk Sonar so I can start learning it, but when I went through my Metropolis midi’s I realized that I was missing some of them so now I have re-program the ones I couldn’t find from my old computer - ugh!!!! So I will be working on Metropolis and South Side of the Sky by Yes next. Then I’d like to see about getting some drum transcriptions for Circus Maximus songs whether I find them or have to transcribe them myself. I LOVE Circus Maximus! They’re currently my favorite second band right now. I wish I could find some sheet music for them! It’s very difficult, at least as far as drum music is concerned.
Speaking of which, I’m trying to learn “Loved Ones” by them on piano so I can sing and play the song on piano. I love that song soooooo much!!! :D :D :D Such a beautiful song. I realized that the chordify website/app is pretty accurate! I was so excited, I tried playing along with it for “Loved Ones” on piano and the chords it selected totally made sense. My fingers got a real workout playing it lol. So I’m going to try working with it more for some of the other songs I’d like to learn. I wish I had a paid subscription to it, might be worth looking into later on.
Got the Heart of the Sunrise midis transferred over, now it’s time to work on 6 0’ clock by Dream Theater! Absolutely love the grooves to this song and can’t wait to rock out to them!!!!!
Reminder to self: copy the new Heart of the Sunrise practice midis to your MP3 player so you can go over them in your next drum practice!!!!
Debuting at VanCAF 2017: Cakewalk
ByGabriel FrizzeraandMike Myhre
Featuring Ian Christy, Karinga Wells, Rob Jones & Norm MacLeod
Fourteen or fifteen years ago, Gabriel Frizzera and Ian Christy started “Draw Jam”, a weekly Sunday meet-up to drink & draw. It regularly consisted of jam comics: passing pages around, adding panels, and making up the story as it went. For whatever reason, “Cakewalk” was the only story that lasted beyond five pages, and off and on, over the years, Gabriel, and Draw Jam regular Mike Myhre, continued adding to it, long after the end of Draw Jam itself. They would constantly derail the story to trip each other up, or forget what had been changed in recent panels, adding up to a convoluted comic, whose major strength was the drawings got better, and major weakness was it made very little sense. This is that comic.
