When you drum, its so easy to just end up hacking out some shit you dont really know what youre doing. When Im just hacking out on a drum pad, ill try technique things, left hand developers. playing an excercise on each hand, then playing it two handed to match techniques. playing an excercise on the right and doing the same thing DOUBLE on the left.
Also simple technique exploration does a world of good, playing something (lets say consistant 8th notes for arguments sake) and then change the grip focus, dropping off certain fingers, holding on only by one finger to really feel how each individual finger operates with the stick.
