[jun_BALARAW]

haaaaayyyyyyyyy.... hindi ko alam kung paano ako magaadjust ngayong wala na akong drums.. nakaka miss sobra!
para nga akong nilalagnat nung mga unang araw na wala na yung drums ko. tsk tsk tsk..
sa totoo masakit sa loob ko na ibenta yung drums ko pero ganun talaga buhay.. sa hirap ng buhay sa pinas kaylangan kong gawin ito...
pero di bale pag nakaipon naman mapapalitan din yan kahit lima pa. hehehe

guys share niyo naman mga experience niyo na wala kayong kit sa bahay.. pano praktis?

thanks!

hmm, ako punta ako dun sa studio namin, pag bored ako dito sa shop ko, punta ako dun, lagyan ko ng practice songs ang shuffle ko and jam to the max. hehe. kahit mag-isa ko. ngayon mababawasan na yun kasi nagbabawas na rin ako ng mga session bands ko, hay buhay....

Wala din akong drumset sa bahay. It won't fit in our condo kasi e. Kaya nandun sa bahista namin yung mga kits ko. Praktis? Sa mga gig nalang, o kaya pumapalo nalang ako sa mga hita ko...

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.

I've sold my kit last year, so, drumset-less ren ako.. hehehe.. practice routines even without the kit? hmmm... i sit on our sofa and practice my hand work on sticks.. how? our sofa's hand rest Uphosltered tska syempre mei foam sa loob.. wala gaanong bounce pero ok lang, workout!  And for foot work, I grab a chair, haharap sa dingding, i position the pedals facing the walls, (good thing mei base plate for stability kahit hindi nakakabit sa BD) didikitan yun wall ng either styropor, mousepad, or anything that can imitate the feel of a BD.. then ayun na.. foot work... Huhuhu..  then minsan, plug my mp4 on my ear, listen to the music then, sabayan ko.. can't use my snare for practice here.. maingay at wala akong stand.. and para sa real feel practice, i bring my gear at our school band room.. and practice there halos araw araw.. kaya kahit papano naman, nakakapalo paren ako..

cheers!!!

hmmm i now have 2 kits but i still know how it feels of "not having a drum kit at home". its because im never home so i dont feel like having them at all. maybe my post is OT because its "not having a drummer at home".

i practice exercises mostly at the office with no pedals and no sticks. here's how

- open browser
- login to metronomeonline.com
- select bpm target for the day
- open another browser and look for an exercise (its afro-cuban patterns lately)
- memorize pattern
- close eyes
- bang away on my chair lightly so as not to disturb my co-workers
- 30 mins minimum every lunch break

kaya hindi ko alam kung kelan ulit ako makaka palo ng drums..

Pag nasa Dubai ka na, punta ka sa Battuta Mall. May parang yamaha school of music dun. chikahin mo yung mga drum instructors. Mga Pinoy naman sila at mababait. Baka pwede ka makipractice dun. Yosi lang naman katapat nun. hehehe

Nagjamming kami ni Vic dun nung nandun kami last December e. At sa Deira hindi ka makakapalo kahit puro Pinoy yung mga nagbebenta dun...

[jpmb]

well im in the same situation with peeves...i have a big set up at home but i dont find the time now to play on it everyday..it depends kung maaga ako nakakauwi from work..haaaaaaaaaaay.........

[blitzkrieg]

first of all, maraming salamat for this thread...

i never owned a kit pa, unang-una takot ako sa mga kapitbahay kong ayaw ng maingay , pangawala, ang natitirang space na lang sa apt. namin eh yung dirty kitchen, baka pag nagpractice ako eh matalsikan ako ng mantika pag nagluto si inday 

ang ginawa ko nalang, bumili ako ng murang 2in1 na practice pad (may metronome na) tapos practice lang ng basic excercises for 10 mins everyday am and pm.

though hindi ko pa naiisip kung anong practice na gagawin ko sakaling mag progress ako.

[pyong_2]

ako din wala akong kit kahit nung nasa pinas ako...dati meron kami pero di ko nagamit pampractice nakatabi lang, hirap magingay kasi baka magalit ang mga kapitbahay heheheeh..... i hope & i pray magkaroon din ako kahit 3 piece lng masaya nako....GDBLZ

[suspendead]

Hehehehe ako ang taong walang kit for a very very long time na, alam yan ng mga kakilala ko. Alam mo rin yun Jun diba... Anyway, like what they say "Once a Drummer, Always a Drummer". Never stop, practice pads lang ok na yun, just imagine... It shouldnt stop you from making music pre... Improvise... Dont let go of the craft pre, kaya mo yan, ako nga nakaya ko, ikaw pa...

[Gep]

Ako naman, napasok ko na kit ko sa bahay ko kaso wala akong snare stand! Di ko rin magamit.  

Kaya ang ginagawa ko e practice sa pamamagitan ng cymbal stand-mounted practice pad (as hihats/ride) at yung drum throne ko (as snare). Bibili ako nung improvised bass practice pad na advertised dito sa classifieds para makumpleto na.

[drummer_boy17]

ako naman.. wla tlga akong kit sa bhay.. di ko nga alam kung panu ako natuto dti.. bast na impluwensiyahn lng ako ng clasm8 ko tas pumalo palo lng ako and dun ako ng start mg self study.. mdlas videos at internet lng ako ng aaral sa drums.. pro buti nlng nututo kaagad ako.. lungkot tlga pg wlang sariling kit sa bhay

[powercharge]

Ako rin may kit sa house pero I can't play with it. I usually get home from work at 8:30pm. Since patulog na baby ko at that time, I won't be able to practice. On weekends naman, it's household chores day. Bago pa lang ako papalo e mapapalo na ako ng wife ko because we have to do laundry and other stuff  Wala na lang akong magawa kundi titigan yung set ko. Di siya laspag kasi di siya magamit 

[jeva]

mukang ayos yan dio ah.. yan na din siguro gagawin ko.. research lang ng research.... tapos praktis pad or hampas sa hita na din hehehe..
pero sigurado mawawala sakin yung sinasabi mong fire baka maging hangin na lang... hehehe

Hey, ok lng mawala ang FIRE at maging AIR. ang mahalaga huwag tuluyang mawala ang AIR. AIR is a very essential element of FIRE.

Ako may kit nga, di naman marunong tumugtog. Di rin makapractice, kc darating 7pm n. baka magalit kapit bahay, wla pa man dina ako sa Pinas. Sa pinas, wl nga magrereklamo, wl naman ako kit dun, at wl dina ko dun...

Kelan kaya ako matututo???

[glynminded]

It amazes me that some drummers actually don't have drumkits at home but still turn-out to be very good drummers! It amazes me coz I started drumming when I dad bought my sister a drumkit... and practicing everyday! And to see it grow bigger and bigger just motivates me more... but then drummers without kits can't do that right? but still they have that passion for drumming inside of them.... simply amazing! there's this girl I met... (drummer siya ng band ng GF ko...) No doubt ung tugtugan nila... nagpaturo siya sakin ng mga palo ni Adrian young... asteeg! she just watched me play those no doubt songs a few times tapos nakukuha niya agad and she never had a kit in the first place... talagang natuto lang siya inside studios... tapos inabutan ko siya ng cd ng P.O.T sabi ko sa kanya pagaralan niya ung mga palo ni Harley Alarcon... waw! ngayon nagagawa na niya ung iba! just by listening to the CD! and again... SHE DOESN'T HAVE A KIT! Amazing!

Another great example of a great drummer who never really had a drumkit at home for many years...  Benjie "Bagets" Mendez!   

[jpmb]

haha, yup si bagets...actually bagets has a pearl session studio but he never played on it and still on its box since he bought it from us haha...even he's eliminator double pedals di pa nya nagamit...di ko lam tripping nya dio, haha..i dont know if he sold the session studio already

[frogfunk]

My Master, Reggie Tamayo doesn't have a drum set. I asked him once about it and he told me that first he'd study the songs by ear and do air drums. He then polishes it when he goes to the studio to rehearse. He's also an equally accomplished guitar player.

Well, Bagets has his reasons.  He's selling his kit because he and his family just moved to a new home, and he needs the money for renovating and refurnishing the place.  And yeah, Bagets is quite an eccentric guy. 

[jpmb]

yup he is man, di nya nagamit pa yun session nya kahit isang beses hahaha...classic talaga si bagets
