You feel woozy and you're legs are trembling LOL
(This was me today after two hours of painfully practicing 8th notes on the hi-hat while playing 16th note paraddidles between the snare and bass. I got woozy after realizing that I was only playing quarter notes on the hi-hat and 16th notes on the snare/bass and had to start all over again LOL! SHIZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
NEXT...............
Hoo boy.
Well, you know when you've practiced enough when suddenly you surface from your drumming to find out that you hit your toms so hard and fast you've untuned them.
Today, on Ethel The Frog...
You know you're a drummer when practicing starts taking on the length of a gig! Way to give maximum effort, DC!!

For me it's when I start to get out of control and so I get sore and tense and then I can't play properly. I'm just trying to push and psuh that I stop being on contorl of how I hold the sticks, how hard I am hitting etc....
Also, you know you've practised for too long when you realise you've "releived" yourself on your throne, and NOT the procelaine one, but you didn't notice actually doing it, or needing to for that mater.....

No such thing as too much practicing =P
When you realise you got blisters from drumming 6 hours straight the day before :P

...you look at your hands (which now have fingers that look like slightly overcooked hot dogs)...and look at the time on your clock (which is much later than you thought)...and you think, "How long before my next practice session?"
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

4 me, i play as long as i can. but usualy i have to quit once my hand and stick is covered in blood. that happened a couple of times. i was goin fast on a solo and i just got done flippin the sticks and i started to play again and i busted my knuckles on the snare and floor tom. it hurt .... but it was fun
I hate when that happens...never had the stick covered in blood before...just a little on my knuckle and maybe some on the head
The egg approves!
when ACDC starts sounding like barbra streisand...really sloppy and can't keep up with the speed.
