My Favorite Warm-Up of 2023

  • I love a warm-up that is as fun to play on the practice pad as it is on the drum kit. Also, it's important that the warm-up does its job which is by definition, to warm you up. I like warm-ups that both activate my body and my brain. This one does exactly that, so I hope you enjoy it! - Mike J

    Thank you for this! It is so strange: This and the “From the Page to the Gig” lesson have addressed something with which I’ve struggled for years. I learned all sorts of rudiments and such from my marching days, but I have really found it difficult to translate that knowledge to the kit in any meaningful way. Your lessons are really opening up my mind and helping me see and hear the through-line linking marching chops and musical applications on drum set. Thank you!!

    I was wondering what changed between the pad phase and the kit phase, and I finally got what's slightly different in the ending part. It goes :
    R l R l r r L R l R l l on the kit instead of
    R l R l r r L r L r l l on the pad... Which is in fact the same pattern BUT the accents are moved one step later, to the right hand once again instead of the left, in order to conclude the beat on the ride ! I guess it would have been long to explain, or Mike simply forgot about telling us ! :)

    I'm still working on getting the 2022 exercise with the Swiss Army Triplets up to speed. I've been playing the drums for years now, and I'm a little bit pissed at how long it takes me to internalize a new sticking...😤 This is great for me tho. For ages, I just kinda "chopped wood" up top and did all the grid work with my right foot. These pad exercises are exactly what I need now...Thnx Mike...🥁

    I've never been that great at rudiments, but this has really caught my interest, so I'm working on it. I'm still not even up to "playing with a metronome" tempo yet, but it IS getting better.
    Something about it reminds me of what Bill Bruford plays at the beginning for Yes' "Close to the Edge". Do you (Mike, or anyone else here, actually) know what I'm talking about? Does anyone know if Bill is actually playing a steady rudiment pattern on the cymbals there, or do you think what Bill plays is more free form? I've never been able to nail it down.

      It's all waiting for you inside the description of this video. The notation is fully interactive. You can read the tab or the notation, all the sticking is there. You can reverse the sticking if you are left handed. You can slow it down to 30 or speed it up to 300. I always put the interactive notation in the description of all of my videos. I hope that helps :)
