Can we all please congratulate Takayuki. I have also decided to hand out a couple of runner-up prizes. Please check your inbox for a message. Thank you all so much for your videos, I can't wait to hand out your next assignment (coming in January).

Two further bossa-nova-approaches
Hey everybody. As I'm into bossa nova a little bit at the moment, I'd like to share two further approaches, that I picked up from Anthony and that I'm exploring now ("work in progress") under his guidance. >> Thanks at that point to the brush-master. 🙏 In one of the examples I play two different accent-patterns with the RH, while the LH hand is sweeping. You can find these in the BGOD-PDF on page 42. And preliminary exercises on page 40 and top of 41, which I play ahead in my clip, before going into the patterns. >> Suggestions for improvement are very welcome.

Fantastic technique using both brushes. I am drawn to playing Bossa Nova and you’ve just expanded my horizon. Very grateful.

Welcome! Introduce yourself + share a pic of your favourite snare 🥁
Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a photo of your favourite snare drum, and something you like to do for fun. 😊 I'll go first - I live in Melbourne Australia, my favourite snare is the Gretsch 2mm Copper 14x5 (with Kentville Kangaroo Head) and I love long-distance running 🏃♂️

Excited to join. I play a piccolo snare because I have always loved the beautiful sounds that Stewart Copeland makes. I am self taught, but experienced a Zen moment a few tears back. While logging in with my password on a keyboard, I realized that I did not even think about what I was doing. This hit me like a ton of bricks about why developing muscle memory is important and I should have practised my rudiments! I am looking forward to developing proper technique and learning good form so that as I start my new chapter using brushes and I get the most out of it.
