I also don't have a drumkit at home right now. I've talked about this issue of mine a few times in my blog. Like what I said there, I've been having this itch to practice. Andami ko kasing research materials right now and stuff that I want to work on and improve. Wala lang akong kit para i-work out ang mga applications and materials na na-gather ko.
Drummers are like athletes too. Dapat may constant workout and practices tayo para ma-maintain natin ang drumming natin in great condition. And because I don't have a drumset at home, I don't have a normal practice routine right now.
Thankfully, I often have gigs. Kaya hindi nawawala ang fire ko. And to keep my fire burning, I constantly motivate myself by not stopping on my research, on reading Modern Drummer, on listening to plenty of music... And this is my everyday routine. Walang araw na lilipas na hindi ko iisipin ang drums and music. As much as possible, I want to add something to my bag of tricks everyday. Even the little things and a few new info for knowledge's sake counts.
And I also work on my practice pad. At least even if I don't have a kit at home, I'm able to work on my hands and keep them burning.
