If you live in an apartment or have to practice during quiet hours, I feel ya. I did this for 2.5yrs in an apartment as a gigging drummer, and I know it’s tough to figure out how to practice or even WHAT to practice in order to not wake the neighbors - but still grow on the drums.
Well today I’m teaching you what I believe is the most effective practice pad exercise for drumset players, plus I’m sharing some gear recommendations for practicing realistically at low volumes. This will be fun - YOU CAN DO THIS!
