I haven't played or even picked up a pair of sticks since the begining of September when I rented out my basement suite. I figured that until I had my soundproof room built in the garage, I couldn't subject my renters to the drum kit. The longer I went without playing, the more I didn't care about playing, and I've definitely lost my passion about the whole thing.
Anyway, today I made the decision to start some sort of practice regime in an effort to try to bust out of this funk I find myself in. I broke out a pad and a pair of sticks and put on Tommy Igoe's Great Hands For A Lifetime dvd. To my surprise, after six and a half months of not playing at all, I played ok and the sticks didn't feel awkward in my hands at all. I'm not exactly at the very top of my game, but I could play along to all the practice routines on the dvd, with the exception of 3 or 4 exercises on the advanced lifetime warm-up. I guess doing that stuff almost everyday for 3 years really committed it to my muscle memory.
