English to Russian Other Music drumming

Benny: I always fight to keep myself disciplined. I have to be sure that when I get on the set I don’t just doodle around and improvise. I have to practice first. If I start by playing freely, I have so much fun. But when I’m done I just want to go home. There’s a saying that time-management professionals use: “If you have to eat a frog, don’t look at it too long. And if you have to eat three frogs, eat the biggest one first.” [laughs]
MD: What’s your “big frog” at the moment?
Benny: A big frog for me is being able to play a groove to a click without any variations for ten minutes or more. It’s a mental exercise that’s almost like meditation. I just turn on the click and play a groove as well and spot-on as I can and ***get into the zone***. I don’t want my mind dreaming away; I want to focus on what I’m playing. So focus and concentration are big frogs for me because it’s very difficult to play something like a paradiddle with full concentration where I’m thinking about different parameters like dynamics, sound quality, how my hands feel, and how I’m breathing.
