Individually - How often do you practice ?

[rreihart]

Practice!? You guys are talking about, practice? Really? Practice? We're sitting here talking about practice. Not a gig. Practice. Not a gig that I go out there and die for and play every gig like it's my last. Not a gig. We're talking about practice, man.

huh?

BTW, apparently we went to the same high school

Oh yeah, what year? I assume you're considerably younger.

Now that's funny.

I thought so too, unfortunately it appears few people get it.

This is the NailDriver mantra when we rehearse, LOL! Russ, have you been sneaking in and watching us??

No, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.

NOT ENOUGH!

Typical week:
Sunday & my off-day (if I don't work): 3-5 hrs if possible. Includes sightreading out of the Real Rock Book, band material, you-tube playalongs, video lessons, writing originals, compiling material to play/sing.
Work days: Usually at least an hour of playing. Early in the week, or if the band isn't playing, it's more just playing for fun what I want to do. Late in the week, it's more business, with technical excercises to warm-up.

I don't know that there are many sports fans here on the 'Page.

I might be a real drummer someday.

LOL@Bobby, you know better, dude! You're one of the best drummers that I've seen, and a major influence on my playing!

I just spent two hours study sheet music and trying to memorize all the notes on the neck.

I have an electronic yamaha drumset at home, pearl export 5 piece at practice, and a 6 piece pearl export for a show kit. But to be honest other than having band practices every week when we do practice, I do alot of air drumming and drumming on anything around me whether it's the couch, floor, etc. While doing this I do actually practice rudiments and such. This also helps keep the hands loose and hopefully someday pays off to make me a better drummer.

I play bass just about every day for around an hour or so. I try to play drums 3 or 4 times a week for about an hour or so, depending on what I'm working on. I almost never play guitar. There's no improving that.

[heartsshadow]

I prolly play a good two hours six our of seven days of the week and on some days up to four or even five hours. This includes about a half hour of warm up scales and such though too. I usually play at night as Im a night person but its paying off slowly...you dont become a rockstar overnight o.O

some people just dont understand that music playing is in fact a skill that you do actually have to be dedicated to get better at...well at least thats my opinion anyhow,but yeah..I play a lot haha XD
