Are You Doing This Crucial Drum Exercise Every Day?
This drumstick dexterity exercise, which I dub the "2-Minute Drill," is part of my daily drumming warm-up routine and is crucial for getting my hands loose and flowing and my mind engaged. It progresses from two measures of singles, doubles, and paradiddle variations to one measure of each and two beats of each. My goal tempo is 16th notes at 160 bpm. Give it a shot!
