Taking It Easy

This time of the year we drummers can always use to rest our joints and re-evaluate our setup. Practicing constantly without rest most of us do, we sometimes forget an injury can creep up when you least expect it. I have had injuries in my writs and elbows due to playing with the wrong technique (unnatural way of playing) and heavy sticks. Being over anxious during a solo can also lead to a forced unnatural movement. It is always good to play inside your boundaries off speed and coordination. We push the physical but we neglect the creative side. Push the creative and take a holiday on reaching that 1000bpm single stroke roll.

Everything in good time...
