EXCELLENT INFO thanks i have been looking for something like thisMan is this ever important and rarely discussed.
Useful information here...
On this topic... does anyone else not warm up before gigs? I pretty much never do any kind of warm up before any show. The most I'll do is wear a hoodie for the first song or two.
When I'm practicing though, I make sure to take a good 15 minutes to get my hands loose.
I'd have to agree that as great a teacher as Rick is, his content assumes the viewers are high level-intermediate to advanced. I also love the way he demos all his extensive gear in sufficient detail. He not only has everything, but multiples of those everythings. I think his primary orientation is geared for students aspiring to become full time musicians or musicians looking to fine tune their skill sets.I watched a bit of that yesterday. His channel is by far my favorite, but sometimes find it discouraging as a part time hobby drummer. I can barely find that time to play each day let alone warm up like that. He has other videos that also remind me that I’ll never be a high level drummer. I think that’s why in person instruction is so important. The instructor needs to work with the student at their current level and work towards realistic goals based on skill, time, age, etc.
Sorry got a little off tack there. I have been stretching and warming up more than ever, things I learned through his other videos.

I'm with Buddy on warming up.Someone asked Buddy Rich what he does to warm up before playing. "I take my hands out of my pockets."
