A Fun, Simple Practice Routine for Percussionists
While wind players are setting up their instruments and warming up, percussionists often find themselves unengaged and waiting for further instruction. Give your percussionists an activity that's practical and worthy of their time: the Five Minute Drill book from Tapspace. Written by band directors Ralph Hicks and Eric Rath, this book offers classroom routines that benefit both the student and the director. It contains a collection of 5-minute-long exercises that address fundamentals such as rudiments, sticking, dynamics, and scales. Also included is access to nearly 100 audio tracks for students to play along with. Drummers at Sweetwater note that the book and audio tracks are well suited for use beyond the classroom, especially for students who do most of their practice at home. With a Five Minute Drill, helping students develop a reasonable practice routine has never been easier!
