Drumming on the Go: The Most Unusual Practice Spots Revealed!

Drumming on the Go: The Most Unusual Practice Spots Revealed!

July 21, 20241 min read

Drummers are a resourceful bunch, and when it comes to practice, we get creative! So, let's ditch the traditional studio for a moment and explore the strangest places we've pounded out our rhythms.

My Nomadic Practice Sessions:

As a traveling drummer, my backpack is my mobile practice space. Ever found yourself captivated by the roar of a waterfall or the majesty of a gorge on a hike? Whip out your trusty practice pad and turn that natural soundscape into your personal drum backing track! A log or a picnic bench becomes your impromptu drum throne, and for a blissful half-hour, you're immersed in a unique drumming experience. Sure, you might get a few curious glances from passersby, but who cares? You're honing your craft in an unforgettable setting!

Airport Rhythms:

Airports – notorious for their long layovers. But for a drummer with a practice pad, they transform into hidden practice havens. While your fellow travellers stare blankly at the departure board, you're in your zone. Seated comfortably (hopefully!), you unleash a flurry of beats on your pad, transforming the airport hustle into a personal rhythm session. It's a fantastic way to stay focused and energized during long travel stretches.

What About You?

So, fellow drummers, where's the most unusual place you've practiced? Have you jammed with the ocean waves or dueled with a bustling city street? Share your off-the-beaten-path practice experiences in the comments below! Let's inspire each other with our drumming wanderlust!

Here at Grant Drums Academy, we celebrate the dedication and creativity of drummers everywhere. So, grab your sticks ,embrace the unconventional, and keep the drumming spirit alive, no matter where you roam! Happy drumming adventures!
