Unicorn Stepping

 I have gotten to the unicorn step I will be adding into my 3 star drum form. It is definitely another challenge. I realized that the way I do the unicorn stepping is still to the beat, but it was slower than what I needed for the form. For some reason I could not think of the steps to the beat of the 3 star drum. Sihing Lindstrom helped me reconnected the steps to the 3 star beat. My issue was I was preparing the unicorn step at the clack, and I should of done it at the single thump. Once I had that figured out I started to add techniques to the unicorn stepping. 

The big issue I am having now is because I am doing every beat has a technique it makes the unicorn step a little weird. I am trying to make it the techniques make sense and have purpose. I am trying to not just place the unicorn step in my form just for the sake of  having it. I am trying to make it make sense. I am aiming for intent.   I won't lie the unicorn step in my form seems more like poses, but it is not a bad thing to have poses. I am just not really liking the transitions in between the unicorn stepping. 

It is the defining moments of the clack that seem like to me right now "oh yeah I need to do something" The flow and transition into these clacks make some sense, but I feel as I can do better. 

I am having a hard time with this form, but I am also learning so much about myself and my drumming, and even my unicorn stepping. I am actually having a lot of fun right now.
