It varies a bit but 2-3 hours a day most days. 1st hour messing about, some warm ups/ rudiments on snare and around kit then maybe some snare etudes.2nd hour Kit exercises either individual grooves or concept work. Also a bit of solo/fill ideas3rd Get the iPod on and work to music. Sometimes -1 drum books for reading, but usually tunes relating to any sessions or gigs that are coming up.Each of those hours can be 50mins work or may overspill the hour. I call it by hours but really they are stages. That is my working week Monday to Friday target.Weekends are just playing to tunes if I feel like it.

I have found 99% of the time if I'm cranky online it's because of something else [bad] going on in my life. I have *never* been proud of it. You and I had a bad start but things are already looking up...sweet!Mitch

Thanks Mitch, I feel I owe you an apology, you seem like a good guy.

Yeah in a constant state of keeping my sh*t together mate. It's a system that works for me. It kind of keeps everything running.

Been doing a little "outside the box" kinda stuff. Learning some 3-2 African clave rhythms for drum set via Billy Martin's "Riddim." Look it up on the web as I believe there may be excerpts around. He notates in a pretty unique way.
