About the only other thing that I can sugest that go's along with everything else is STRECH OUT

This will help you relax.
before a show and almost all the time at practice Im always the first one there.
I do a quick warm up on the drums or pad for about 5-10 min then I strech for a while.
I do a lot of wrist and arm streches and legs just like I was going to run.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO THEM RIGHT AND NO BOUNCING
when you bounce it mess some things up bad (bouncing is when you go to stech your legs instead of just a strait pull you move up and down to keep it from hurting to much.

If your not sure how to do strechs properly look it up.
you can hurt yourself bad if you dont do them right and there is the chance you wont play for a few days.

But trust me streching will help you relax a lot.

One other note these guys keep saying no drugs and I agree and a lot of them are ggoing to hate me for this but DONT DRINK BEER it can have the same affect as the sodas and the bar will take it out of your check as well in some places.
