i'm guilty of not doing this...
try to actually play the set. For you to have a feel of the drums.
this is also the for you to make adjustments..ex. the snare stand height, pedals loose....

stretching, i jog a little...but in my experience drinking before the gig(alcohol) does'nt work for me...i have low tolerance for alcohol...2nd set nlng! hehehe ayun mejo steady na!
