Just wondering, whats the most difficult piece you've ever played?
Band wise:
anything with constant important mallet percussion basically lol, but probably Foundry playing timpani & learning the mallet part for The Inferno
Jazz wise: drumset-
1. Giant steps, if you know. You know. Mostly the speed.
2. Afrocuban & latin rhythms are my weakest point. I can play them but ugh it took a while semester of lessons to geta grip on just the basic patterns
Musical theater wise:
1. The Temple -drumset (Jesus christ superstar) due to the 7/8 that gradually speeds up. And I was so bad at odd meter at the time
2. Schuyler Sister's - Hamilton - drumset
Took me a while to get the correct rhythm on the drums the way Andre played it on the cast recording. But I got it down after a couple weeks of gridnding
