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