Challenge a friend or two and run through these as a unit to see how cleanly you can play together.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/john-wooton-snare-drum-lessons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a kit drummer or a marching drummer<\/a>, these moves will get your blood circulating, your singles and doubles up to speed, and your brain ready for whatever&#8217;s next in your practice or session plan.<\/p>\n<p>Grab a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/practice-pad-workout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">practice pad<\/a> and play along!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. 8 on a hand<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Play 8 beats on each hand. That&#8217;s it. The main thing to keep in mind is getting that full rebound when you throw the stick down. Kick it off at a slow tempo, then bring it up to speed.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Double beat<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A variation on an exercise called the &#8216;ha-ha&#8217;, this is a great doubles workout. You&#8217;ll be playing groups of two on each hand with the following sticking:<br \/>\nRR RR RR RR R R LL LL LL LL L L<br \/>\nRR RR R LL LL L<br \/>\nRR RR RR LL LL LL<br \/>\nRR LL RR LL RR LL RR LL<br \/>\n(Watch the video to see how it&#8217;s supposed to sound)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Hug-a-dig-a-burr<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you hear it, you&#8217;ll know why it has such a funny name. Another great exercise for doubles, you can alternate it with singles.<\/p>\n<p>Dorothea wants you to make sure you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/how-to-hold-drumsticks-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">holding your sticks properly<\/a>, all fingers on the stick, and that you start slow.
