I still say this is no true "hard" music. Practice (I'm thinking your having trouble with the second piece) with a metronome, all of it is very right on or right off beat, it's accent patterns make it seem harder than it is. Practice it first without any of the back-stickings or diddles, just the accents, the hardest part is getting used to playing at different stick heights (you need more muscle memory), try learning a few bucks patterns and this problem will be gone, temporarily. Then add the diddles. If your still not getting it, just play a 16th+tuplet grid at the tempo the music is at, which I will post in the warm-ups section (most-likely) within a week. The last part is to add all the fancy eye-candy stuff.
