The practice pad is the ideal way to develop and refine your hand technique. We can use a pad to work on our fingers, wrists and forearms, our dynamic control, accuracy, speed, power, and of course rudiments and licks.
To get the most out of our pad practice, we need a plan and a direction.
Many people want more speed, power, endurance, and control. And that is the entire purpose of Machine S.P.E.C.
During the course of 4 weeks you will learn 3 practice pad routines that will focus on key areas of hand technique. The routines will each be played once per week and last between 45 to 75 minutes.
Every week you will make minor speed and duration adjustments to the routines, and at the end of the 4 week program, you will increase the tempo of every exercise and repeat the process for another 4 weeks. These subtle tempo increases, will allow for a continuous development of speed, power, endurance, and control for many months. I even recommend that this pad routine be practiced for at least 6 months in order to achieve the best results possible.
.
The purpose of this course is to give you a clear, simple weekly routine that will dramatically increase the speed and power on your practice pad and ultimately, on the drum kit.
