I love when that happens...
So my son has been having some issues with one part of our lesson the last few weeks. We have been working out of the Jim Chapin book and he just couldn't get the swinging ride with straight triplets on the snare. After our last lesson he told me he was going to spend more time on the kit as it is his summer break and he doesn't have to worry about homework. He really wanted to break through that wall. He has been going down to the kit 3x a day for 20-30 minutes each time. Fast forward to this morning, I am working from home and he goes down to practice. 15 minutes in I hear it, he finally nails the lesson! He yells "YES!!!!!!!", continues playing it for 3 minutes or so to make sure he has it, then calls me down to show me. Big smile on his face (and mine too). Love watching this kid grow as a person and a drummer!
