  • Hello! What if I only have 3 whole days of practice a week? Which is wed. sat. and sunday? Whats going to happen then? Will it hinder improvement?

  • @skypiercer03 Hey There, of course it won't hinder improvement . It's better to practice 1 day a week than no days if that's all you have. If you have a choice , it's better to practice on a daily basis.But sometimes we don't have a choice so do the best with what you have. If you practice 3 days a week you'll improve. Just make sure to work on something consistently . Don't practice 1 thing one day then something else another day . Through repetition you will improve. All the best Max

  • i want a dvd max, you are so grat teacher¡¡¡¡ plese tell me, how much for a dvd, im live in mexico...

  • Hey batacocabron, Thank you very much! The DVD will be $30 Canadian. It's focused on improving groove and feel. I will post a video when it's ready . Thanks for the interest . Take care, Max

  • When I sit down with my 'micro-goals', those goals in each 20 to 30 minute chunk of practise, e.g. fingers, or cross co-ordination, what do I actually do when it comes to that?

    For example, do I work through the book and just keep going or do I go over what i've already done before a new bit, or do i just work a page for a while. Any tips, strategies or ideas?

    Thanks

    Alex

  • Hey YTisshit, I think I know what you mean . Let me know if I'm wrong. I would stick with an exercise till you get comfortable with it and it becomes easy to perform . I would move on when you've mastered that exercise. Meaning, it becomes second nature and you're not struggling with it anymore. Is this what you wanted to know? Max

  • You are such a wonderful person and an absolutely fantastic drummer Mr. Sansalone - I'm a very big fan of you :) thank you for these videos!

  • Just the kind of advicee I need Max, thanks. I NEVER practice..I've been playing for 18 years but I haven't "practiced" in probably 10 years. The only playing I get in are band rehearsals once a week, and it's not that I don't have time, I have a ton of time. My problem is now I'm not used to practicing, so I always feel lost. Any advice for getting started? I really want to improve my time, my relaxation and my feel overall and I just need some sort of jumping off point.

  • This is good stuff, even if you DO have the time to practice. and if you have the desire to become a good drummer. It's good to know what you are practicing and how to practice it. How to make it work, even if you do have the time for it.

  • @nate6807 if you take a look at some of his other vids you will come to a new conclusion that he is actually a great player

  • this is really helpful. thank you

  • Hi Maz, I start teaching voice lessons next Friday and i just wanted to let you know that this was helpful.
