I had been trying to air drum Brainstew by Green Day, but I couldn’t get the kick pattern. I always doubled the quarter note hi hat stroke to 8th notes to match the kicks on the 1.
But then… for whatever reason… everything clicked while we were waiting for the miso soup. I was air drumming with chopsticks and under the table, I finally figured out the 8th note kicks on the 1.
It’s a huge dopamine hit to finally get a challenging musical technique into your body. And it’s always fun to chase that feeling again and again.
