Warming up
Like any athlete, a drummer needs to warmup before playing. A lot of times I ignored this and would just go straight into playing and this led to some sluggishness and missed beats.
I'd really like to start up a consistent warm up plan before gigs and practice. Before gigs though I need to keep quiet and not play on the drums. Do you guys have any suggestions?
I was thinking just stretching my wrists and fingers and playing some rudiments. How long do you do this for for a full warmup? |
