#lifetimewarmup

[adiwooddrummer]

Things have been busy as I’m designing more promotional posters using Photoshop but I still get stuck into the #lifetimewarmup once a day. 170bpm is now my new “normal” and I am trying to consolidate this tempo. Each day I play through each section of the routine using a timer, for thirty seconds. This is inspired by the Endurance Challenge when Tommy would play each element for a minute. This has had the main benefit of strengthening my Paradiddles and Flam Paradiddles, but the whole routine benefits. Eventually I will aim for the full Endurance Challenge but for now, Thirty Seconds is plenty! #realfeelpads #practicedrums #practiceroutine #practiceroutines #practiceroutineformusicians #drums #drumming #technique #technicalpractice #rudiments #rudiment #flams #singlestrokes #doublestrokes #lifetimewarmup #tommyigoe #tommyigoegrooveessentials #tommyigoelifetimewarmingup #realfeelpad #realfeelpadsforlife #endurance #endurancelifetime (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlvgtUnBRF/?igshid=1rn3wqc362aa3

Have enjoyed posting full practice sessions of the #lifetimewarmup over the last few days on IGTV. Yesterday’s was a real achievement. #realfeelpads #practicedrums #practiceroutine #practiceroutines #practiceroutineformusicians #drums #drumming #technique #technicalpractice #rudiments #rudiment #flams #singlestrokes #doublestrokes #lifetimewarmup #tommyigoe #tommyigoegrooveessentials #tommyigoelifetimewarmingup #realfeelpad #realfeelpadsforlife #grabandgo #grabandgolifetime (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbhgsyByBH/?igshid=pfceqwbimezv

Blasted through the Lifetime Warmup - Basic; Intermediate; Advanced - this morning. Just the Paradiddle Variations, Triplet Rolls and Ratamacues at 215 bpm to get up to speed. Everything else is on its way. We have moved Jules’s solo singer set up into a different room as of today. Jules is back to gig hunting although for the most part it’s crawling speed. #igoechallenge #lifetimewarmup #realfeelpracticepad #rudiments #drumming #jtsmicrophone #tchelicon #tcheliconvoice #reverb #solovocal #solovocalist #reverbpedal #backtoblack #evacassidy #lockdownmusic #lockdown #lockdownrecording #facebooklive #homerecording #iphone #ipad #Vocals #vocalist (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBk4z1vnH5i/?igshid=1rwtslvhzjs6k

Step 1 of the #igoechallenge Assignment Days 31-45 - The Chart. Question is, do I go to Step 2 (transcribing Tommy’s original parts) or Step 3 (creating a drum part)? Probably 3, where I get creative and compose my own part? I have a tiny bit of orchestral experience and love prog rock! Decision time. #lifetimewarmup #tommyigoe #tommyigoegrooveessentials #tommyigoelifetimewarmingup #realfeelpad #realfeelpadsforlife #realfeelpads #practicedrums #practiceroutine #practiceroutines #practiceroutineformusicians #drums #drumming #technique #technicalpractice #rudiments #rudiment #flams #singlestrokes #doublestrokes (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_wm3kvHZF7/?igshid=1chdz5rn532l3

I set a goal for myself recently to work on some of the individual elements of Tommy Igoe’s Lifetime Warmup - #igoechallenge. The aim was to increase the quality/speed of these elements to an Advanced level, specifically to match the Advanced Backing Track that comes with the Great Hands package. Have made good progress - the only elements I have really struggled with are the all Paradiddles (excepting the paradiddlediddles). But have slowed them down again and began to push forward again. The Flam stuff is really falling into place. #lifetimewarmup #tommyigoe #tommyigoegrooveessentials #tommyigoelifetimewarmingup #realfeelpad #realfeelpads https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nNLybHx8S/?igshid=1y1s6lbgzln64

Part of the Flam section from the Intermediate Lifetime, played at 80bpm, 20bpm slower than the backing track. The Flam Taps are a little loose but it’s always a work in progress. That’s the point. #lifetimewarmup #realfeelpad #realfeel #rudiments #flams #flamrudiments #drums #drumming #flamadiddle #flamacue #flamtap (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B91XhQ6Hk-2/?igshid=7krxpbwkr561

I have been having problems at rehearsals with painful hands. This is now sorted as I took my practice pad along to last night’s gig and ran @tommyigoe’s Lifetime Warmup and my hands were perfect all night. #lifetimewarmup #greathands #greathandsforalifetime #ludwig #gigginglife (at Red Lion Barwell) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9tufISn6cG/?igshid=mssfuc75qtzg
