Had a margarita for the first time on Thursday night.
(I was out with my co-workers at Mazatlan.)

Was far better then I had expected.

Coming into work yesterday was not fun after 2 margaritas and a beer the previous night.

Slight touch of a hangover,then showing up at work is no fun.
Not like you could smell anything on my breath,just had a headache.

The human body a weird thing, even after all this time not playing drums, the chops are coming back pretty fast.

I put on some music for about two hours and broke a sweat playing em the first time in decades, and the chops are coming back pretty fast.

Faster than I expected at any rate.

Peart was pissing me off the other nite, still can't do that but starting to do other things well again.

Nother month or so I might be up to that.

My chops still suck, but the coordination is coming back, which is a big thing.

Crap I think my old SONY 5.1 A/V receiver just suffered a meltdown at the end of that.

Only one thing to do, start looking for a beefier amp, and had been saving for another thing.

How can you do separate timings with both hands or do you make workarounds?

I guess it would be spending a couple years playing Stick Control on page 5 for a few years when 12 years old till you could do them at 120 beats per minute, then went from there.

Once you get to where you can do that, things get easier.

For instance if I were to to to hit a right hand then both hands and then alternating I could not run my left hand at 1 hit every 2 beats and then my right hand at 1 hit per every beat cause just not able to and not sure why. But I could alternate between right hand and then both hands and then continue to alternate then that would work. Can you understand what the fuck I am wanting to say?

Not particularly to be honest.

You mean using a single paradiddle is the only thing that comes to mind.

But yeah that's a but like autopilot.

It is a rudimental thing, I used to be in NARD decades ago.
