Jon's Drum Recital!

This morning Jon had his 2nd drum recital since he started playing again. The poor guy had to change his time just so I could go because of school. He was originally placed to play with more drummers of his skill level, but had to be with ones that were a little....well...younhger then he was. We all had to laugh when his teacher thanked all the parents for letting their children take lessons, to which Jon replied "Yea,thanks Mom!" to me, and I replied "You're welcome Hunny!"

This year Mike (his instructor) decided to add lights to give the feel of being in "concert". You know Jon wants them in the studio now! Geek!

The song Jon chose to do is called "The Sound of Muzak" by Porcupine Tree. The really challenging part of this song is that it is odd time. Normal drumming is the beat of the song and there for the beat to which we dance to. This one is odd time, which makes it difficult to play and almost impossible to dance to. I will post the song as well as his performance so you can see how hard it really is and appreciate how well he really did! Good job Boy!!!!!
