 Sifu Ichichou, can you do some math in regard to drumming then? Haha, that was that's exactly what it was gonna do because I learned drumming through notes I'm one of the few people that I know that I learned how to drum through notes. I didn't have a ear for it I didn't have natural talent drumming natural talent. So I hired a drum teacher Back in the 80s When I was in high school or my parents did anyway, that was a deal I cut with them You want me to tell you the deal I got with them? Here's how I got into drumming. Okay, here's how I got into drumming When I was in high school, I was in grade... I don't know. What was I in? I was in grade 9 or 10 or something like this And my parents said You have to learn an instrument. I said, okay drums and They said no I said what the hell? You guys told me I have to learn an instrument. So I'm picking drums They said no, not drums. I go, no, that's my instrument. They go, okay, we'll make you a deal take piano for a year and if You Take piano for a year and then if you want drums, we'll get you drums. I said, okay Gijo holds on to his deals. I like making deals, right? So I because my other siblings were taking piano and guitar and stuff like that So I went to this piano teacher, old lady Old lady English style very formal So I took piano for a year After a year to the day Sat there finished my lesson and the teacher goes, oh good job. Good job. I go, okay. Thank you, Mrs I forget her name is. Thank you Mrs. Whatever for teaching me piano for a year This will be my last session. She's like what? I go, yeah I made a deal with my parents that after a year I'm gonna take drums and I'm gonna start playing drums and she goes, what I Go, yeah. Thank you. I appreciate what you learned. She goes, but piano is a foundation. You can do everything you can It's got the chords. It's got this. It's got this. It's got this. I go. Yeah, but I want to play drums so thank you very much and I and it was in a private residence. So, you know, I left and I went to the car and I said, okay, mom Great, let's go get the you know, we're gonna go get the drum set She's like what I said, we made a deal and I just told the teacher that this was my last lesson. She's like, what? I go, you guys told me that was a deal. That was the deal. That's it. No ifs, no buts, no nothing, right? So we ended up getting the drums and when I started getting drums, I couldn't do Like the rhythm on drums. This has got to go like this This has got to do a different Different thing. This does a different thing. This does a different thing, right? So I was trying to do this. I'm like, what the hell is going on and we hired a drum Tutor, teacher, music teacher and he came in and he taught it to me with notes And I learned notes and he turned to me once after like two years of taking lessons with me. He goes, Chicho I have another student that has natural ability Abilities that are crazy. He could be one of the greatest drummers in the world if he practiced Okay, he goes if he practiced as much as you practice He would be one of the greatest drummers in the world right now and he turned to me said Chicho, you don't have natural talent for drumming, but you practice. I write down he goes, you practice like no one else I've ever seen before. I go, well, thanks. I would practice until my thing my things bled, right? My Calus hard Calus right and I learned it from notes and I'll show you. Okay, that's my story of I Think I told a shorter version of it a couple of years ago That's my story of learning how to play drums and we're gonna do a little bit of mathematics I'll show it to you. Okay, what it is Like notes wise 7 8 4 4 or whatnot. Okay, let me get caught up with the chat. It was a rant and a half
