A drum workout refers to a structured practice session or routine designed to improve a drummer's skills, technique, coordination, and overall proficiency on the drums. It involves various exercises focusing on aspects such as timing, rudiments, speed, dynamics, independence, and musicality. Drum workouts must be tailored to suit drummers of different skill levels, from beginners to advanced players. They are essential for developing and maintaining the physical and mental stamina required to play drums effectively.
Your drumming workouts should be regularly adjusted based on your skill level and customized to your evolving needs and goals. Our online WISE Drummer Practice solution provides drum workouts, practice routines, and exercises organized into a well-structured framework. They are grouped into skill levels and categories, allowing for easy selection and adjustment of personal goals based on your skill level and targeted development area.
All drummers and drum tutors should have access to a comprehensive library of drumming exercises that focus on developing all the specific and required skill categories and levels. Furthermore, these exercises should be well organized for easy access, saving drummers and drum tutors time and effort in finding and maintaining exercises. Our integrated drum practice exercise library is actively developed and maintained to achieve this challenging and ambitious goal.
Following architectural design, our drum workouts and practice routines start with a solid foundation constructed with simplified pattern-based principles. This approach enhances the early development process of foundational drumming skills to build upon. The skill levels to follow systematically develop and expand the application of these fundamental drumming patterns to efficiently master rudiments, rhythmic vocabulary, dynamics, independence, and coordination.
Drumming workouts are crucial in refining your skills by providing a structured approach to focusing on specific aspects of drumming. Our carefully crafted drum workouts, practice routines, and exercises are organized into well-rounded skill categories designed to enable you to customize your practice sessions based on your specific goals. This approach ensures that you can systematically work on different aspects of drumming, such as rudiments, dynamics, independence, rhythms, and fills & solos, leading to comprehensive skill development.
To set effective practice session goals, drummers need to clearly understand their skill development progress in relation to the specific targets for each drumming skill level and category. Our WISE Drummer Practice solution provides drummers with a dashboard to visualize their progress in skill development against the targets and identify which goals to prioritize.
Dedicating time to daily drum practice that aligns with your overall development goals is essential. Our online solution allows you to set and adjust your daily practice duration to help you reach your target. Your progress against your target is visible during your practice routines, which can help keep you motivated.
Effective and creative drumming requires a combination of the interrelated skill categories. Therefore, it is best to take a balanced approach to developing all the skill categories equally and systematically. Our drum workouts, practice routines, and exercises are designed to help develop all limbs equally in terms of rudiments, rhythm, and dynamics.
Improving your drumming speed and timing is an important goal. You can achieve this by practicing with a metronome, starting slowly and gradually increasing the tempo as you progress. Our online practice routine exercises include a tempo range and speed step, which automatically increase the tempo of the built-in metronome as you progress.
Prioritization is the vital process of pinpointing specific areas that need improvement and then adjusting the order of drum workouts, practice routines, and exercises to ensure that time and effort are focused where they are most needed.
Manual tracking of drumming skills development is time-consuming, tedious, error-prone, and not worth the effort without help from our dearest friend, Technology.
Our online WISE Drummer Practice application automatically records and tracks your daily practice time. During practice sessions, you can see your daily target and actual practice time, and you can also view a convenient trend of your daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly practice time on the dashboard to help with longer-term motivation.
Our online WISE Drummer Practice application automatically records and tracks the tempo setting of each exercise practiced. This allows you to continue where you last left off and develop your speed efficiently.
To practice effectively, the drummer needs to record the performance of each exercise. Our online WISE Drummer Practice application has this feature built-in, making it easy to record your performance assessment with just a few clicks. You can also add comments to your performance to help jog your memory the next time you practice the same exercise.
In addition to this great responsibility of holding time with both hands and feet, drummers are also expected to ingest, process, analyze, and interpret vast amounts of data. This is achieved with a simple click of a button to view the built-in dashboard, which presents the results in an easy-to-read format. The dashboard contains a wealth of information and provides a broader and deeper perspective on drumming skills development and progress.
