PRACTICE TOOLS Some notes on my practice routine, associated mp3s and apps, which is based on Tommy Igoe’s Lifetime Warmup. DVD and MP3s Tommy Igoe’s Lifetime Warmup Basic 130bpm mp3 Intermediate 150bpm mp3 Advanced 180bpm mp3 APPS Music Speed Changer I use this to speed up the basic warmup from its original tempo to 150bpm and above. I practice this half a dozen times before attempting the intermediate. Drumate This fully customizable app allows me to practice specific rudiments in the warmup at increasing tempos, starting at 150bpm and stepping up to 180bpm (which I can barely play at all). Vital to getting my paradiddles up to speed.
