Introduction
50 Essential Warmups For Drums
contains a collection of the best
sticking exercises for use as warm-ups and technique-builders before
drumming. They are designed to be learnt on the practice pad before
transferring them to the drum kit.
It is intended that you read through the whole book, attempting each
example before moving to the next. After some time, you can use it to
selectively choose a warm-up before a gig or a session depending on what
you feel would be most beneficial for you.
I recommend that you spend at least 3-5 minutes on each pattern at both
slow and fast tempos. Always play relaxed and focus on clarity and
precision. Stay relaxed because tension is harmful to your joints and
tendons.
Be aware of your stick size in relation to your arm length. The right sized
stick should feel like a comfortable extension of the forearm, particularly in
weight. A stick which is too big or too small can put unnecessary demands
on your joints when you strike the drums hard.
To really benefit from these exercises, it is important to learn each one to
the level where you do not have to read the notation, count, or think about
the sticking. You can then enter an almost a trance-like state. Let the blood
flow, breathe deeply, and your hands will loosen up.
Each warm-up is notated over two bars. Some warm-ups are two-bar
phrases, others are one-bar phrases with 'reversed' sticking notated in the
second bar. With the latter, simply pause and switch hands after mastering
the initial sticking.
One-bar phrases are easily identified by a double bar line. Two-bar phrases
are sometimes referred to as 'symmetrical', as the sticking naturally
switches the leading hand from the first bar to the second, then back again
on the repeat.
