- Hey everybody, what's up?
My name is Pat Petrillo
and I'm an instructor here at Drumeo.com
and I'm gonna show you what I feel
is one of the best practice pad warm-ups ever.
So, let's break this down a little bit.
We're gonna do one-handed exercises
with rebounds of eighth notes hand to hand
and then we're going to do alternating sixteenth notes,
then we're gonna do double bounced for sixteenth note rolls,
and then we're gonna do a combination,
two paradiddle-diddles and a paradiddle on each hand
and that'll bring you right back around to the one-handers.
One-handers are very common warm-ups to use
and pushing the tempo on these is really gonna get you
a really good warm-up, a really nice burn
in your forearms, and get you going.
So here is the exercise at a slower tempo.
Here we go.
So this is a real effective warm-up to do rebound strokes,
and to do one hand, double hand,
and then do diddle combinations, all right?
Let's crank it up, let's go
a little bit faster on this warm-up.
Here we go.
You can take that as far as you possibly can,
as fast as you possibly can,
for as long as you possibly can.
The whole key of doing a great warm-up is endurance
and doing repetitions, faster tempos,
and holding on to that tempo for a long period of time.
That'll give you a really cool feeling
of warming up and getting ready to play.
Now, if you happen to own the P4 Practice Pad from Drumeo,
you'll be able to move this around the different surfaces
as if you're playing on the drum set.
Something like this.
So that's just one way.
You can move any exercise around the P4 Practice Pad.
So I hope you liked this warm-up exercise that I find
to be one of the best warm-ups and I use it all the time.
