In Taiko class tonight we practiced the Horse rhythm. It's two beats with the right hand for every beat with the left. We practiced it, and practiced it, and then we sped up, and sped up, and sped up some more.

I'm left-handed.

My right arm now feels like a noodle. A very buff noodle.

TAIKO CLASS.

*I* want to do taiko classes!

How did I not know you were doing this? You are so cool.

This was only my second one. :) And you should! We could carpool!

Was that you that looked at me oddly while they were leaving class A? I'm embrassed to admit that I don't entirely know what you look like.

And don't worry, if you are in Mark's class, you'll get to laugh at everyone else when they struggle with left handed horse beats. :) Everyone else will struggle with their left hand. Right now in class B, some of class B is struggling with RLLRLLRLL.

In a way, it's a relief to know that my big forehead isn't as much of an instant visual cue as I sometimes think it is. :)

so cool!

Also, I just got the image of your arm being all wobbly and bendy like in anime.

Buff noodle. I have to use that in a sentence.

Does it sound like a horse galloping?

When one person's doing it, or when the entire group's in sync, it does!

When the group's out of sync, it sounds more like a horse loaded with empty barrels falling down a hill. Still an *interesting* sound, just, you know, not so much with the good.

I am very jealous!! I would love to do that!

Oh how excellent! I hope I can live up to the hype. :)

Welcome!
