Have a question about periods where drummers are away from their drum kit and can't practice on it. For me, I was away from home for a week with no access to a kit.
I had a pad though. What I want to know does practicing rudiments on the pad while being away from a drum kit, it's of benefit to your hands but do elements of your playing suffer not having the full kit to practice.
Does it really make much difference. I can imagine it putting more focus on my hands just having the pad but I can imagine without a kit, you wouldn't really be able to practice independence exercises properly or songs.
Any opinions?
