My friend and former teacher Eric Okamoto got an article in the news
paper about his recent accomplishment at this years WFD in
Indianapolis. He produced an accurate 1500 strokes on the Drumometer
using a closed double stroke roll. He had exactly 60 seconds to
accomplish this feat. 1,500 strokes is relatively easy to accomplish on
the drumometer if you buzz your sticks (3 or more bounces), but getting
1,500 double
strokes in exactly 60 seconds time is a very difficult task. So
difficult, in fact, that no one but him has accomplished this. I am
also quoted in the article as I was also interviewed by Peggy Lim, the
author.
