Repinique on an old tin can…

May 20, 2009 Blue Lily

Today was interesting. And it wasn’t.

Double PLP was boring as. Once again my teacher got upset at me for not handing in my work experience form and my resumé. How am I meant to hand in my work experience form when my work experience isn’t fully organised yet… (oops)

But dance was good. Did about three or four practices of Extinct, which gave me a good workout. Then in lesson 7 I had music, a.k.a Batucada rehearsal. Phil played the Repinique on a tin can today instead of the actual drum, and after rehearsal told me he is going to leave it in the store room so that I can practise the Repinique part during the week. That made me happy. lol

I love playing the Middle Surdo. Just not for about seven minutes at a time without a mallet. Kind of killed my left hand for about ten minutes after school, but it’s all good. It was a lot of fun.

Axé people!
