Allora, ecco alcuni estratti dal primo giudizio del mio maestro Jim Payne dopo aver ascoltato le mie registrazioni degli esercizi assegnati:
Esercizio di coordinazione charlie, cassa e rullo
Very smooth with a good balance of sounds between HH, BD and SD.
Well done, you played it right down and in good time, very deliberate./ That’s just the way it should be done.
Also you seem fairly relaxed at the set and moving with the groove. Nice.
The little mistakes aren’t a problem. Especially as you did the whole 3 pages in a row. And I know about the problems with those small BDs.
Very good time.
Suonare una partitura preassegnata su una traccia funky
Again, very smooth and you played the chart right down, no problem.
I can deal with this recording method but it would be good if you could mix in the music a little louder, not too much but just a little.
I think we’ll have no problem turning you into a funkster. You have a lot together already: reading, coordination, sound mix, and above all good time. We’ll just expose you to more and more of the right techniques and material.
Don’t be afraid to use your own ideas in the charts, your own fills and beats too. Whatever you think fits the music.
Accompagnare liberamente un brano bles
Yes, the groove is there and you’re really playing the blues with strength and power.
Time gets a little ahead near the end. Interpretation of Figures could be a little more specific on the drumset. We’ll get to that too.
Nice ending, very strong.
=====================
Overall I think you have made a very good start. I’m happy that your time is very good and you already have good reading ability.
Spero che non siano complimenti esagerati per convincermi a continuare con lui... però sono molto contento e soddisfatto.
