I watched an interview with Tommy Aldridge yesterday (thanks to @global2dom) and was interested to hear the Whitesnake drummer talk about drummers needing to learn the fundamentals - Rudiments. I wish I had taken them more seriously as a kid but am glad since discovering @tommyigoe and @johnawooton to have addressed that over the last eight years or so. #realfeelpads #practicedrums #practiceroutine #practiceroutines #practiceroutineformusicians #drums #drumming #technique #technicalpractice #rudiments #rudiment #flams #singlestrokes #doublestrokes #lifetimewarmup #tommyigoe #tommyigoegrooveessentials #tommyigoelifetimewarmingup #realfeelpad #realfeelpadsforlife #grabandgo #grabandgolifetime (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8fcFSnN3g/?igshid=1i2lcl0sueduk

And today things have stepped up a gear.

So I had to slow everything down 10-20bpm - 180bpm felt ludicrously fast. I have been trying to make 180 my new normal but it’s like sprinting when I am more used to marathons. I will persevere. #realfeelpads #practicedrums #practiceroutine #practiceroutines #practiceroutineformusicians #drums #drumming #technique #technicalpractice #rudiments #rudiment #flams #singlestrokes #doublestrokes #lifetimewarmup #tommyigoe #tommyigoegrooveessentials #tommyigoelifetimewarmingup #realfeelpad #realfeelpadsforlife #grabandgo #grabandgolifetime (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4IQU_nJZF/?igshid=12shjlbuqfonf

Nearly two years on from “redundancy“, I am finally hitting the Advanced Lifetime Warmup. Admittedly the most progress has been made during Lockdown. There’s a lesson there. The paradiddle variations and triplet rolls are making progress so overall, I am feeling like I have really achieved something important. Trick now is to stay on top of it and move towards 200bpm! It’s important to have goals. #realfeelpads #practicedrums #practiceroutine #practiceroutines #practiceroutineformusicians #drums #drumming #technique #technicalpractice #rudiments #rudiment #flams #singlestrokes #doublestrokes #lifetimewarmup #tommyigoe #tommyigoegrooveessentials #tommyigoelifetimewarmingup #realfeelpad #realfeelpadsforlife #grabandgo #grabandgolifetime (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCvZ75YnPyL/?igshid=xe8gtavvtxnp

My Real Feel pad. Since Lockdown I have been able to kick my Lifetime Warmup through a number of mental glass ceilings I had created over the speeds of some of my rudiments. Both the Paradiddles and all the Flams especially have gone through the roof. Propped up are the Drumeo pad which I never use and my old Vic Firth. #realfeelpads #practicedrums #practiceroutine #practiceroutines #practiceroutineformusicians #drums #drumming #technique #technicalpractice #rudiments #rudiment #flams #singlestrokes #doublestrokes #lifetimewarmup #tommyigoe #tommyigoegrooveessentials #tommyigoelifetimewarmingup #realfeelpad #realfeelpadsforlife #grabandgo #grabandgolifetime (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5GdlHnG7u/?igshid=1oig3nheufgc
