Monday i took control in our band work session when we had to choose a song and teach the band so that we could play it for our Fat Sam's gig in march. It didn't go as well as i'd hoped for since we only got half the song done but hopefully next week we'll have finished it and started another one or two so we can work on the performance of the gig on our last practice (the monday before the gig on Wednesday).

The rest of the week i didn't do much in the way of graded unit except make more videos but i'm yet to upload them to YouTube so i can put them on my website in DAW.

 On friday Paul had the drum kit out again for all of us to partake in a session type activity where, next week; we will have to play a song with the guitarists and bassists. The song was "cold sweat" and we all practiced it with and without reading the music! Since Paul isn't much of a session reader and can't really read drum music to a 'sight-reading' level. I found it better to work with the other drummers rather than sitting in a room looking at a piece of music and i managed to get the beat a lot quicker and easier by watching and listening rather than reading the music. I think that shows that i might need to work harder on my sight-reading but word from the pro's is that it's not exactly as important as i've been told.
