Summer Drumming Tips

Summer time is a good time for renewal and practice. Here are some ideas. 

1. Head off to your local drum store and poke around. See what's new in gear. Dream. Then head home and hit the practice studio.
2. Now's a good time to explore some rudimental warmups on the snare drum and improve your hands. 
3. Explore tuning your drum set in different ways. The internet is loaded with tips. Jump in, make a mess, and work your way out of it. You will learn a lot. 
4. If you play real drums, explore the different type of sounds you can get from a single drum or cymbal.
5. Practice sight-reading with a metronome.  This is a real life skill. 
6. Buy a new drum book and get to it. 
7. Find a bass player and jam.
8. Call me for some lessons.

Cheers,
