    Nice hands man. Although, I’m confused on why high schoolers are always the ones giving “helpful” tips on auditions videos as if they are the staff looking at this 😂

    I can’t imagine how much your forearms hurt after doing that rudiment sheet at two different tempos. Your chops inspire the fuck outta me. At the very least you’ll get a callback bro

    Some of the best advice I ever got on the “multiple bounce” strokes like 2-4s etc (like in the rudiment sheet near the end) was to quit trying so hard to play the notes and just hang on to the “push” a little bit longer. Just when you think it’s time to close up that hand space and move on, hang on a little longer.
    Sounding fantastic dude, you 100% have a shot at making the line. Keep getting after it 🤝🏻

    Nice job man. Did you play on a tilt? Your left hand likes to creep up and it makes that stick sound dead as not the whole face of the bead hits the drum like you’re right. Other than that, you’re solid.

    • @Will-fh3pl
      @Will-fh3pl  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! Yeah, I've noticed that problem too. My left hand platform is really high. It used to be way too flat and now to fix that I have unfortunately over compensated for it. I'm working on it now though!

    this is actually super super clean but you should definitely work on keeping those grace notes down on the flams you’re prepping the grace note and it’s causing your flams to sound a little like double stops

    All the stickings are super duper tight and your hands look nice, just make sure youre checking out the met more frequently. some moments in there you let the met get a little in front of you, but your hands and sound quality is heat bro 🔥🔥🔥

    The main thing i noticed was timing especially in the slower tempos. If you go back and listen to your flam taps and the hand-to-hand flams that's where the time fluctuating is most noticeable.
    One other observation flam quality at the end of the exercise versus at the beginning. The longer the exercise, the flatter the flams (specifically on the left hand).
    Overall, this is really good! Cleaning up some of those little things will take you from good to great.

    Very minor inconsistencies here and there on some of attacks and left hand transitions. That rudiment sheet is old school and meaty and takes chops to play top to bottom, you killed those dachadda variations! Solid playing and love that snare tuning, hope you get to march somewhere next summer if not Boston.

    • @Will-fh3pl
      @Will-fh3pl  Рік тому +1

      Thank you for the feedback! Those inconsistencies are something I’ve been really focusing on in my practice in the last month (specifically in drop catch and flam control/flam builders). I was fortunate enough to receive a callback so we’ll see what happens!
