At grooveFEST, Thomas L played an original solo piece that he wrote for a recent school event. He workshopped this piece for a few weeks at the studio, and every time he came in with a new rhythmic idea, or a new transition to get from point A to point B.

grooveFEST Spotlight: Thomas L
Thomas always makes highly adventurous musical selections when we choose songs to work on in lessons. This is no exception. This last event had a bit of everything: a marimba adaptation of a pop song, some jazz piano trio performance, and a 1980’s metal anthem, Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher. Anyone who is familiar with this track knows that the double bass drum shuffle runs throughout the entire track, and requires a LOT of concentration, especially so during the opening drum intro.
