The All Inclusive Practice Routine Every Drummer Should Follow

I've got the hwat? A good HWAT?

Right on the money with the Ted Reed book. Only your imagination limits how it can be used. To be honest, I usually just use the figures on the cover and don't even open the book.

What is that with the beats on the snare drum?

"I had a favorite band," but WHOO

Didn’t help

Very cool, great work!

Also if you're big on double bass, use the stick control book for your feet. Makes a huge difference

this really reminded me not to rush and really focus on the fundamentals. i guess this can happen without a dedicated teacher, once can rush through practices and levels and miss out on the core fundamentals. almost makes me want to seek out a dedicated teacher.... but im 37 years old and only learning drums as a hobby

You’re the man for making this free

how is the practice routine 30 minutes, and the video showing it 21 minutes XD

👍

hwat

What a pointless video. There isn’t a second of a routine taught. I think this guy is a book salesman or something. What a waste of time.

My drum teacher always told me "practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect" if you practice all the time but u practice wrong you are doing yourself a disservice, u have to practice perfectly, pretty much the same as he describes in the beginning of the video

You’re a great teacher. Thanks for the lessons!

Thank you! Super helpful 🥁

hWhy hWhat

Dope video. Thanks dog.

inclusive? this sounds like I have to dye my hair pink, deny science and become a freak adult child to participate........ go woke go broke and lose subs bud.

i loved drums until my mom forced me to do it and grounded me when i told her i didn’t like it when she forces me to do it

I am in middle school sitting in a plastic chair pondering life, wondering how something that brought me so much joy can be turned into something so boring?...
Why am I holding a Tuba when all I wanted to do was play drums?
I see the drums, I see other people playing the drums, I am NOT playing the drums..
I have returned to the band room. It is hot and stuffy, and smells of moth balls.
The music book in front of me is written by a sadistic Chinese person bent on torturing/boring me to death.

WHy dOes aLL Of tHis seem so FAMILIER?
I wanted to get better on the toms, I am cast back into hell.

Great video thanks !

See this is great! I need something that teaches me the very basics and how to improve. So many guides are like "just do these rudiments and you will be better". But HOW do I do these rudiments? What should I keep an eye out for? How do I know I'm doing them right? This guide is super helpful. Thank you!

What was your favorite band that got you? Stoked about drums and music?

thanks alot for an eye-opener

Cool, man. Respect from guitarist

HELP THE PDF LINK DOESN'T WORK

Such a nice presentation of the How What & Why in addition to practical tips..just discovered. Subscribed!

they're probably isn't one practice routine that suits every drummer. come on silly!

Good info. Used to play pro, got sick, moved, havent played x 7 years and NOW have opportunity to play in a great studio with great players. Used to play thought free... the magic zone. Going to try your tips AND play along with five diverse grooves... in particular, I think Jeff Porcaro tunes are a perfect start for reconstucting a fried brain. Slow but sure. Kind of amazing how quickly it comes back! Keep the faith brothers. Thoughts?

Best practice method is combining all of the major facets at once. I don't agree picking one thing a day and working on it, that's slow and limiting. Build a routine that combines everything including dynamics, creativity, and other aspects not mentioned here. The only caveat is time signatures, if you only have 30 minutes I'd suggest picking one and sticking with it. But every day try something else...9/8, 3/4, 6/8, 11/8 on and on.

Humbling

I love this video but Ive never heard anyone pronounce why like you. It sounds like "HUHWHAII" and your what sounds like "HUHWHUT"

Shoutout to Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer! Amazing book

You need to practice at least 2 hours a day to truly become great

I've had 10 years of piano lessons and 5 years of singing lessons from age 7-17. There was a special routine that my teacher used that I'm complementing to the drums. It is very similar to what you explain. We started up with warming up fingers and getting them loose for 2 minutes. Then we started with technique, which meant scales. Always one of 21 C, C#, Cb, D, D#, Db, E, E#, Eb and so on and the notes that are inside that scale. Let's say C is C D E F G A H C. No #'s and b's.. There I played simple scale up and down, seperately then both hantods. Than playing chopped chords, sep. and both again, then full chords and all this. 6 different technique practices.
Then came notes, first writing notes to letters then letters to notes, then identifying notes in songs he chose randomly, then he played notes and I had to guess which it was. Then identifying randomly chosen signs in note sheets of whole songs.
Then we started going through all 5 songs that I was learning and practicing at that time. From 1-5 it was always one newer to one I almost knew already. He corrected my mistakes, gave grades on how I seemingly evolved from last time if I had practiced and he would always notice if not.
And in the end I was "allowed" to improvise and play whatever or something I myself composed.
That was the weekly, 2 hour music lesson and I practiced daily. Almost made it to a Music college but my school grades weren't good enough even though my entrance examination was very good. Now I transformed that to my drum routine. First warming fingers, then different techiques, then notes, then songs, then improvisation.. I do this self teaching lesson that takes 2 hours, 2 1/2 with break 3 times a week and on the other days I just play songs and improvisation. It works for me!

Hey, Stephen. Thanks for inspiring me to focus more on my technique. I've downloaded the PDF and will try it out immediately.

Is it me? Or do you guys also hear Stewie from Family Guy when he says “what” haha!

Practice makes permanent

This is amazing. I just started drums after years of guitar and bass and this is applicable to any musical routine.

Also given drums aren't my main instrument, I love that you give an opportunity to work quickly but also effectively. Thank you!

I gotta say, after seeing the PDF you really put work into this stuff. Thanks man.

Where is the pdf?
