The Drum Pad is Our Friend

Today is a drum pad day for me. I originally had other plans in mind for today's practice work, but as I'm sure some of you can relate, mood can sometimes dictate our plans.

But even on the less than ideal mental days, I try to make sure I still have a focused session. So this evening I'm just using the pad to work thru a page out of the famed Stick Control book. Got the metronome bopping out of my phone and just digging in on rhythmic accuracy and keeping the hands and mind relaxed. For those of you who want to have a similar session, tonight is all about page 9 in the book. Check it out and spend some time there enjoying the opportunity to just focus on your hands. This can be a very meditative exercise and even help with adjusting your current mental state. Be sure to take care of your hands and your head! 🥁🤓
