224 – Practice routines of the greatest drummers in the world (Part 2)
I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing over 200 of the world’s greatest drummers and they all have different practice routines. Some are very regimented, some are very loose and many are in between. This podcast breaks down some of the routines that I’ve heard over the course of the interviews and ones that stood out as ideas to try.

Drummer’s Resource Podcast is free thanks to support from:
DW Drums: I’ve been playing DW for years…not only because they make high-quality, handcrafted drums but because they support and foster drumming initiatives all over the wold, much like this podcast. I’m thrilled to announce that DW has signed on to support Drummer’s Reosource for 2016! Be sure to check them out today and DWDrums.com.
Promark Drumsticks: Promark is Is now a sponsor of the podcast once again they were last year and now they are again. They just released the Mike Portnoy and Rich Redmond signature models with active grip. Activegrip Technology adjusts to your body temperature to give you the control you need so no matter how hard you play the active grip is going to help you handle it by getting tackier as it warms up. You can learn more about this great technology and the Mike Portnoy stick at Promark.com
Drums, ETC: Hands down my favorite drum shop, located in Lancaster, PA. The great thing about Drums, etc is you don’t have to be in Pennsylvania to shop with them. With their online store and order by phone (1-800-922-DRUM) they’re accessible nationwide. I cannot recommend these guys enough…they offer awesome, personalized service, a wide selection (and if they don’t have it, they can get it) and you can call them to answer any questions you may have.
