I recently purchased the famous Stick Control book and I have a few questions concerning how I should properly practice it. I want to do this in the most efficient and effective way.
For starters, how many of the exercises should I practice per day? Today I did the first 8, 20 times each, at 90, 120, & 150 bpm. I'm also curious about the tempos I should be taking them. What's a good range? I think I want to continue doing 3 tempos, but I'm not sure what exact tempos to be doing.
When am I "finished" with an exercise? How often should I revisit them? Since I did the first 8 today, should I go on to 9+ tomorrow? Or continue working with the first 8?
Lastly, just to make sure, I should be using the same sticks I use to play on my kit correct? I'm using this book to build my stick control, speed, etc...on primarily the drum set and possibly mallet instruments.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Relax: music ringtone, message tone, country music ringtone . Good fun!
