We hope that these tips offer you a perfect recipe to help you get the most out of your drums:
- Make a practice plan – One of the things you can do to get the most out of your drum practice is to set goals for each session.
- Maintain a positive attitude – For active drum practice, it’s important to stay positive! Unfortunately, your fear of failure can prevent you from developing the attitude you need to succeed.
- Follow the 80/20 rule – The 80/20 rule is simple: basically, 80% of your success is determined by only 20% of your efforts.
- Pay attention to posture – Posture plays an essential role in building physical habits, which can make or break your ability to play by affecting your speed, control, power, and overall technique.
- Practice with a Metronome – A device that produces an audible click or other sounds at a regular interval that can be set by the user, typically in beats per minute (BPM).
- Mix up your practice!
- And probably the most crucial piece of advice… Have fun!
