    Default Ynu Know You've Practiced Enough When.....

    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.

    You know you're a drummer when practicing starts taking on the length of a gig! Way to give maximum effort, DC!!

    just kidding, that was so sweet

    Sometimes I practice for two hours and sometimes its just all day. When I get off the kit and my bum is a little sore from the throne and feels good to stretch the legs, I know Ive had enough on the kit.

    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.....

    I know I've practiced to much when while I'm playing on my kit I just can't seem to string together a fill or a groove.

    Cool You Know You've Practiced Enough When...

    ...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?"
