Game Changing Five Min. Warm Up - Drum Lesson

Click here to take the next step in your drumming journey 👉 https://www.mikeslessons.com Drummers, this five-minute warm-up has completely changed the way I feel on the drum set—physically, mentally, and creatively. Whether you’re jumping from a practice pad to your acoustic kit, or (like me) walking on stage at a drum clinic/festival to play a totally foreign setup, these five one-minute exercises will get you acquainted with the drum kit FAST! The Routine: 1️⃣ Pedal Focus – Get your foot and pedal tension dialed in. 2️⃣ Sweet-Spot Hands – Move around the kit, aim for the center of each drum, avoid the rims. 3️⃣ Linear Flow – Tighten the conversation between hands and foot. 4️⃣ Four-Way Independence – Simple or complex, all limbs working together. 5️⃣ Creative Brain Warm-Up – Improvise with a restriction to spark ideas. ⏱️Set a timer: one minute per exercise, five minutes total. Try these or create your own versions—then tell me in the comments which exercises you came up with! 💻 More Lessons, Sessions, Courses & Live Streams: https://www.mikeslessons.com – 7-Day Free Trial ►Notation for this lesson... 1: https://gscribe.com/share/yWiN5z6ttJj... 2: https://gscribe.com/share/kpT6hQwYweT... 3: https://gscribe.com/share/Pexg1F9KQ43... 4: https://gscribe.com/share/6tFWjM6Erb8... 5: https://gscribe.com/share/YDubDMd8jCU... ►Metronome App: https://apple.co/2xyz1mr ►Listen to the Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/30hKcPb ►Listen to the Podcast on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2HxpOmv Endorsements • Gretsch Drums • Meinl Cymbals • Evans Drum Heads • Vic Firth Sticks • DW Hardware • Audio Technica Microphones • 64 Audio In Ears 0:00 Intro 1:20 Warm Up One 2:45 Warm up Two 3:57 Warm Up Three 5:55 Warm Up Four 8:00 Warm Up Five 9:00 Recap #drumlessons #mikeslessons #drumlesson #drumsetwarmup #drumgrooves
