i have spent a good part of my practice time on
walking/danicing/clapping/counting
in the last year and it has helped me a lot.
and it's great fun.
last year i bought an e-drumset. since then i am rocking around with 
grooves
and play some
gary chester exercises, etc.
man, life can be funky!

>> posting portions of my Rhythm Intensive method


I was lucky to catch up with a short seminar Rick Walker gave last
year in Zürich. I snagged his hand written manuscript too ;-))  Can't
recommend his "Rhythm Intensive method" enough! I wish someone had
told me 40 years ago that rhythm is the base of musicianship. That
would have spared me  decades of overplaying due to poor rhythmic
understanding. Today it's easy for me to say that ninety nine percent
of musicianship is hitting the notes on time and only the very last
percent is playing in tune, sticking to some scale or remembering the
melody you're supposed to play. I finally found out "the long way".
