Hey everyone,
I set a goal on January 1 to reach the 1,000 stroke mark via paradiddles in 60 seconds. Been playing four and a half years. Yesterday was my birthday so, I attempted it then.
Did exceed the 1,000 strokes in one minute. I did it on a pad and not the drumometer as you can see in this clip. Set the metronome to 250. After recording, slowed vid down real, real, real slow in Movie Maker and counted the strokes. Next time, on the drumometer.
One thing i did notice, there are times when you get a little off rythum and then, speed up and go over. Anyway, it all averages out. I just wanted to make sure via slow motion, that i did not cheat and throw in a few doubles to artificially increase the strokes. Portion of the vid here:
