Hello Fellow Drummers,

I am in need of some advice. I was wondering, can any of you guys suggest any good arm, hand and finger stretches and warm-up's I can do before I practice on my drum pad? Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
 
I do a variation of the routine Jai Es does here before I do work on my kit. I'm sure some bits would apply to the pad.

The routine takes a bit over 5 minutes and has the side benefit of serving as a partial warmup. It also feels good, unlike the athletic stretches I was taught in my youth.
 
Thank you for replying KamaK. I already do a couple of arm stretches to kind of loosen up before practicing/warming-up and those look like they can do nothing but help. Thank you for sharing.
